Meet Chewy, an adorable black lab puppy who was abandoned at a local vet's office when it was discovered that he tested positive for parvo. Chewy's symptoms were very mild and quickly resolved, but his people did not want to stick it out with him. It's hard to understand how anyone could do that to a puppy, especially one as great as Chewy. Chewy's symptoms were treated and it didn't take long for him to fully recover. Our vet expects no long-term effects from his parvo, and suspects that his parvo test may even have been a false positive. Despite this unfair start, Chewy is a happy-go-lucky guy with a great disposition. He is in every way a typical lab puppy: he's smart, sweet, sporty, and adorable. Chewy already knows several commands, including come, sit, stay, down, and shake. Chewy is very loyal and sticks close to his people's side on walks. Chewy shows every sign that he is a water dog, and would be a lot of fun at the beach. Chewy is very fun and social with other dogs and loves a good wrestling match with his canine buddies. Chewy is also growing up with cats and likes them (a lot!) Chewy is a little mouthy, as is typical for all puppies and labs in particular, but his foster family is working on that behavior and making good progress. Chewy is also practicing on his house training, but he doesn't quite have it mastered yet. After a rough start, this little gem deserves a great forever family who will give him the life of fun and love he deserves. Chewy's birthday is March 1, 2017. Judging by his paws, he's going to be a bigger guy (in the 70 to 80 pound range) full grown. If you'd like to meet Chewy, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet.
