meet Choco.

We got a call Saturday asking us to foster Choco for the holidays. He is a two year old pretty chocolate Lab. Much more calm than Bentley, which makes me think he is actually a couple years older. Still in need of obedience classes but he does know "sit" (with encouragement) & he knows "come" very well. He is used to riding in the car & does not need to be restrained. He pulls a little bit while walking on a leash but does very well with a gentle leader. Choco was surrendered due to owner illness & now is in search of a new home. He is more gentle when playing with Bentley & submissive with Bentley. I think he would do find in a home with other dogs. He is housebroken & although doesn't need a crate, I am teaching him to go into the crate. We're not comfortable leaving him home alone to wonder while Bentley is crated. We were told he would refuse a crate but I worked with him for about 15 mins last night & (along with a hotdog as a reward) he now goes into the crate. He does bark/whine for about 10 mins but then settles in. He is neutered & microchipped. Choco is a sweet boy with a precious chocolate face who needs someone with patience while he is still learning & adjusting because he hasn't been socialized very well yet.

Here he is on the Love of Labs website.
