Bruce Chocolate Labrador Retriever Male 1 Year Old
March 4, 2025
Meet Bruce! A smart, athletic, playful, affectionate young lab in search of a new home that provides a large yard to run, play fetch, and explore and a soft comfy couch to snuggle up after exercise.
Bruce is being surrendered because his owners don’t have the time or space a young, high-energy lab needs. He is very loved, and this has been a very difficult decision for his owners.
Bruce is a very handsome, pure-bred, chocolate lab. At a perfect weight of 81 lbs, he is very food motivated and knows some basic commands. He has been an only dog, but attends doggy day care where he loves to play with all dogs but especially humans. He currently lives with 2 cats as siblings, but his playfulness and energy level are too high for the cats. He would prefer a home with another playful, energetic pup and a family committed to providing the daily exercise and stimulation a young lab needs.
Bruce can get very excited when playing or meeting a new person and will jump up to say hello. He also doesn’t like to be disturbed when sleeping. Therefore, he prefers a home without small children, although he is used to having small children visit and loves to play with them.
He would love to land in a place where owners are home most of the time as he is used to having his owner at home and is only left sporadically for 2-4 hours maximum. Bruce is crate-trained.
Bruce will need to go to a family committed to providing daily long walks, continuing his training and manners, especially in walking without pulling and not jumping to greet.
A fenced-in backyard is strongly preferred as it will give him the ability to burn off some of his young lab energy.
