Meet Slade! He's a handsome chocolate Lab just shy of 2 years old, with 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 was rescued and is excited to start his next journey with a loving family!
Ideal Home
Slade is looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels. He would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation and structured activities, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Slade's leash manners are decent, but he’ll need continued work on his heel command. He knows “sit” and “down,” especially when treats are involved, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion. The team at Pura Sanguine has spent countless hours with him, learning all of his quirks and goofy personalities, and preparing him for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally training, and providing social enrichment.
