ABOUT CHAPO
Chapo is about 1.5 years old and so full of life! Chapo came to HAP when his owners sadly abandoned him. He has been overlooked at the shelter for his energy, as this pup loves having a task to do! Chapo is a Labrador Retriever and he could not be more accurate to the breed, he LOVES to retrieve! He has impressed our staff and volunteers with his fetch skills, bringing the ball right back and dropping it at your feet every time. After some playtime, he is sure to melt into you for some love!
Chapo is well-socialized with people, being gentle and respectful when making new friends. While he may do some tippy-tap jumps, he is careful not to jump up onto you. Chapo also already knows basic commands, such as ‘drop-it’, ‘sit’, ‘paw’, ‘stay’, and ‘come’. He is food and toy motivated to learn, making the possibilities endless! Chapo hasn’t had proper introductions with dogs yet, though he is indifferent to most passing by when he’s outside. Chapo has also enjoyed days out of the shelter with our volunteers through our Doggy Day Out program. Here's what his friends have to say about him:
"I am in disbelief that Chapo is still at the shelter, what a great boy! Chapo was nervous about getting in the car but allowed us to pick him up and once in he settles and lays right down. After being told how much he loves fetch we took advantage of an empty dog park where he enjoyed running around for 75 minutes chasing the ball and bringing it back every time! We then went for a walk at Bellevue where he enjoyed walking and sniffing. He is so smart knows sit, stay, paw and walks great on leash. We hit Dunkin and got him an egg and cheese bagel with a pup cup and it was a hit with him! Within 5 minutes he was passed out snoring in the back of the car! Whoever ends up with this sweet boy doesn’t know how lucky they are!"
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
