Dembe Chocolate Labrador Retriever Male 15 Months Old

Meet Dembe!  This handsome purebred Labrador is looking for a foster or foster to adopt home.  He is in need of a new home because his owners are unable to meet his needs due to an illness in the family.  If you can help this playful and affection boy, please reach out to info@brooklinelabrescue.org

Dembe is a 15-month-old, PB Chocolate Lab. He is UTD on rabies and all shots. He is crate trained and is still crated at bed time; he will come with his crate. He is not neutered and will need to be adopted with a sterilization agreement.
He is good with children and lives with a 13-year-old.  He also has been around toddlers who were used to big dogs but there could be a knock down factor with small children so we are recommending 5+yo. He is good around other dogs and unknown around cats.Dembe grew up having 20 acres and a creek to play in and have not been walked much on a leash. He knows his boundaries and enjoys free run of the property while out on walks with the owners. He loves chasing the “Chuck It” ball. He also has a fenced-in area adjacent to the house to be in when unattended by the owners. Dembe would do best with fenced yard or large yard to explore and play in as he needs work on leash manners.He can be shy initially when meeting new dogs or humans but warms up quickly.

Dembe is currently used to having his people home most of the time so he is not used to being home alone for long periods of time.  Dembe would do best with a family who is home more often than not.

He is a sweet boy who needs someone who will give him time to acclimate to his new home.
