Black Labrador Retriever and Chow Chow Dogs Available for Adoption

Coal is a 2-year-old Lab mix with a gentle, easygoing vibe. He walks nicely on leash and enjoys calm outings where he can take in the world at his own pace. Coal can be a little nervous at first, but once he settles in, his friendly and chill personality starts to shine through. He's the kind of dog who seems content just being near his people, soaking up the good energy. We're still getting to know Coal, but so far he's shaping up to be a sweet, laid-back companion who will do best in a home willing to give him a little time to feel comfortable.

The Chow Chow, a distinctive breed known for its lion like mane and unique blue black tongue, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. These aloof yet loyal dogs are known for their independent nature, dignified demeanor, and protective instincts. Chow Chows require early socialization and training to thrive in a family setting, as they can be stubborn and territorial. With a dense double coat that requires regular grooming and a history as ancient guardians and hunting companions, the Chow Chow remains a fascinating and enigmatic breed in the canine world.
