Chief – A Gentleman Dog

Black Male, Age 8, 100 lbs 

Are you looking for tall, dark, and handsome?  Oh, and loyal too?  Well look no farther – Chief is here straight off a Romance Cover ready to make all your dreams come true!  Handsome face, handsome heart, perfect house manners too!  And did I tell you I am aged just like fine wine?  What are you waiting for – everyone needs a Chief in their life!

So, you are probably wondering how such a handsome guy like me found himself looking for his second chance at love?  All too common of a story – taken to the shelter when my previous owners were “moving.”  Wonder what it would be like if dogs ran the world?  Bet they wouldn’t even need shelters, but I digress.  Don’t feel sorry for me!  I am one of the very luck ones!  So many don’t get saved.  I was picked up by the best of the best, the Defenders of Dogs, the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno.  Oh, and did I tell you – by adopting me, you give them a chance to save another deserving soul!  That’s what I would call a win for everyone!

You should know inside this handsome ebony body lies a happy heart of pure gold.  I love people of all shapes and sizes – especially ones that throw tennis balls!  I may be 8 but did you know that is the new 5?  I can swim, walk, and chase a ball with the best of them and a bit of hip dysplasia doesn’t slow me down one bit!  Couple that with great house manners and you have a perfect gentleman dog just waiting for his perfect home!  You should note that I would like to be your only furry pet so I can get all the love because I sure have plenty to give!  Won’t you give this big guy a chance?  You will never be sorry you did!

Chief is available for adoption through the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno.  He is loving and good with people. He loves to play fetch, swim, and go for walks.  In return, he is a happy boy who is very loyal to his people but would be best as the only furry friend in the household.   He has a bit of hip dysplasia and could lose a pound or two to help with that situation, but it doesn’t affect his quality of life.  If you have room in your heart and home, you can’t go wrong with this gentleman dog.  If you would like to adopt Chief, please fill out an application at our website: https://www.LabRescueFresno.Org
