Slade

Meet Slade! This handsome chocolate Lab is just shy of 2 years old and has striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. Slade truly shines in one-on-one settings, where his focus is impressive and his eagerness to engage is clear. Add in a few distractions, though, and his playful, puppy-like nature still takes over—he’s young, enthusiastic, and still learning to channel all that energy appropriately. He knows "sit" and "down," especially when treats are involved, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. Slade is a "Little Hero" from Pura Sanguine, an organization dedicated to giving deserving animals a second chance.

Ideal Home

Slade would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training, clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation, structured activities, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Slade's leash manners are decent, but he’ll need continued work on his heel command. He knows "sit" and "down," but can show a stubborn streak. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion. Pura Sanguine provides behavior and medical care to prepare their animals for adoption, including training and socialization.
