About Chase

​

Chase is a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever who is looking for a very special forever home.

Like many dogs who have experienced several transitions, Chase has had an inconsistent start to life through no fault of his own. He has been in a few different homes and environments, and while he remains a gentle, affectionate dog, those changes have left him a bit unsure of the world at times.

​

At heart, Chase is a people-oriented dog who forms strong bonds with his humans and loves being included in everyday life. He is happiest when he has a job to do, whether that's chasing a ball, going for an adventure, or simply staying close to his people.

Because of his sensitive nature, Chase can be nervous in unfamiliar environments. Busy settings such as downtown areas can feel overwhelming for him, and he benefits from patient guidance and calm exposure as he continues to build confidence.

​

With the right person or family — someone patient, consistent, and kind — Chase has the potential to grow in confidence and become an incredibly devoted companion.

Chase’s Personality

​

• Chase is a happy, playful dog who absolutely loves a good game of fetch. When he needs a break, he’ll proudly trot around with his tennis ball half hanging out of his mouth, perfectly content.

​

• He enjoys playing tag with other dogs and especially loves when another dog chases him.

​

• Chase loves being outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, exploring, or prancing through a creek with water splashing around him, he enjoys adventures with his people.

​

• He enjoys dog parks, car rides, and road trips, and settles happily in the car after a good outing.

​

• At home, Chase is generally calm and relaxed, often content to lounge around the house or at your feet while you work in the kitchen.

​

• He can get excited on the way to fun places like the dog park and may pace or whine in anticipation.

​

• Chase is a sensitive dog who responds best to calm guidance and reassurance. When spoken to kindly, he quickly relaxes and gains confidence.

​

• He loves being close to his people and will happily snuggle up nearby — especially curled up behind your knees at bedtime.

Chase’s Ideal Home​

​

Chase will thrive in a home that is:

• calm and structured
• experienced with dogs

• active lifestyle with opportunities for outdoor adventures
• able to provide regular exercise and engagement
• patient and attentive to canine body language, and committed to continuing

Chase’s confidence-building and socialization

​

Chase is best suited for a calm home without small children or young puppies. Busy, high-energy environments can sometimes feel overwhelming for him, and he does best in a quieter, more predictable setting where he can build a close bond with his people and where interactions are calm and respectful of his space.

​

Additional Considerations

Chase loves playing fetch and can become very focused during ball play. When he becomes highly stimulated after a game of fetch, he has occasionally shown some territorial behavior around his tennis ball with other dogs. For this reason, ball play should be managed thoughtfully in multi-dog households.
