Obsessed with Obsidian - Black Labrador Retriever and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Amherst, Virginia

WE ARE OBSESSED WITH OBSIDIAN

Meet our hunk Obsidian

He’s only 2 years old
He’s beautiful
He’s goofy
He’s sweet
HE'S PERFECTION

He’s everything you’d expect from a classic Lab—and somehow, he ended up alone and wandering the streets near Lee & Moss.

And the hardest part?
Nobody came lookimg for him.

We keep hoping someone would walk through the door and say, “That’s my dog. I’ve been looking everywhere for him.” But shockingly no one did.

He doesn’t know why his family never came looking. He doesn’t understand why the people he may have loved aren’t there. He only knows that the life he once had is gone, and now he finds himself waiting for a stranger to decide that he belongs with them. It just feels incredibly unfair for a dog who is only 2 years old and so PERFECT.

Is this a fantastic smile or what?!?

Dog friendly
Kid friendly
Walks wonderfully on a leash
Takes treats like a gentleman
Knows “sit”
And he SMILES.
He's gorgeous with his healthy shiny coat

He has that ridiculous, lovable Lab personality where the lights are on, but No one is sometimes home.

He’s goofy. He’s happy. He’s affectionate. He’s just a really, really good dog.

His one request? No cats. And honestly, it’s not because he thinks he’s a tough guy. Cats scare the absolute daylights out of him.

Obsidian is fully vetted and on our list to be neutered.

Someone has to make the choice to give them a new beginning. Will it be you?
Maybe the family he has been waiting for is actually you!

Come meet Obsidian.
Let him give you that goofy Lab smile & outgoing personality
