My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Welcome to the super dome!
Was that super or supper? Yum sign me yup for both.
Extra supper please and I've got all the supers ✅✅ checked.

🦮49 pounds...handsome hunk looking for love.
Hobbies:
Not sure about game hunting but i loves games and hunting for treats so I guess game hunting works!
Retrieving is over rated. Chase me is better play.
Voted most likely to work in customer service or as a Walmart greeter. This super Lab Loves everybody!

Skills:
✅Super skilled at smiling -watch out for those pointy things as I say hi. My teefs can't stop.
✅Super excited to meet you.
✅Super trainable!
✅Super fine energy for all day play.
🍟Super size those fries and let's get outta here.
I've got training to do and games to play and treats to hunt.
I've got jumping beans packed and my lickity licks ready.
Just a little help with my hocus pocus to focus and I'll be golden.....
Wait I thought I was in the lab? Good as gold? You bet. That's better.

Things I'm working on.
✅ Sit. yes. Got it.
❓Down? Only after a super supper and I fall over.
❓Laughing while jumping. (apparently not something hoomans like.)
❓Licking enthusiastically with accidental teeth. (also not popular. )

Ok I have a few manners to work on. But I really try to be a good boy. But it's hard when I'm so full of wiggles to get out. Maybe you could help me control my exploding wiggles. I know I can go from goodest to bestest boy in no time!
👍✅ animals...if they can handle my energy and smiling habits.
👍❤️✅hoomans.
I Will probably do better with hoomans with height so they can jump like me (recommending 12 plus years old) with the understanding that the jumping is part of his self directed exercise program right now and may need leash restrictions in the house to correct.

🦮Labradors thrive in company and adore extra attention and playing games with their owners.
🦮Many Labradors are happiest when they have something to gnaw on, so dog-safe chew toys are a great investment.
With TLC -training love and commitment this athlete will be your best friend to adventure with!
Stop by and get your Free licks and fill out that Chico app before he picks a new best friend. You don't want to miss out on this handsome guy😎

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Wicomico County was started in 1968 by a group of people who wanted to help improve the lives of animals. We have come a long way in our 40+ years! We have a staff dedicated to making sure the animals that come to our doors are loved and protected as they wait for their forever home. Not only are our animals vaccinated, wormed and given flea preventative, we can treat animals that come to us with mange, ringworm, heartworm and pay for animals to be seen by an outside vet should there be a need. We have an on-site spay/neuter clinic that not only is used for our animals but we also offer low cost spay/neuter for animals of the public. We provide emergency boarding for victims of domestic abuse, fire, and medical emergencies. We also have the capability to set up an off-site emergency shelter for people evacuated from their homes. In addition, we have an education program to help teach kids about being a responsible pet guardian. We work with a wide range of rescue groups and our animals have been transported from our mid-Atlantic area throughout the North Eastern United States. Our shelter is an open admission shelter and we will take in approximately 3500 animals this year. We do what we do because of our love for animals and our desire to make a difference in their lives every single day.
