Story
Silas was purchased by a couple who thought they wanted a puppy, and who actually put some effort into training him… until the novelty wore off and they left Silas with older relatives who just didn’t have the time or energy for a pet.The relatives made sure Silas was good-to-go medically (neutered, vaccinated, etc.), and then reached out to a shelter for help.They knew he deserved better than the life they could offer – tied out in a yard, sleeping alone in a shed.So, what’s going on???We have a healthy, neutered, affectionate, very trainable BLACK LAB PUPPY here at the shelter…And he’s still here!When sweet, 10-month-old Silas arrived at Animal Aid 19 days ago, we all fell in love, but prepared for a fast goodbye.We were sure a lucky person or family would swoop him right up!Silas is delightful – a gorgeous bundle of puppy joy and wonder, so eager to learn and please! He loves impressing us with good behavior – he’s just so proud when we praise him!Silas is fun – I know “fetch” isn’t the most interesting game for humans, but something about the way Silas lights up when you play with him… suddenly, you WANT to toss that ball!Silas is snuggly – he just loves to be loved.Silas wants to go home – a REAL home where his humans return the love he so freely gives. Forever.Silas would make a terrific family dog (he was great with young children!) or a devoted companion to an active person or couple.Please SHARE this post or come meet Silas! Toss the ball around! Get some sweet Silas snuggles! But, most importantly, help us get this boy HOME.Silas is waiting to meet you at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA.Visiting hours are 9am to noon, every day including weekends & holidays.Interested?
