Honcho - Boxer and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Who is this handsome old man? It's Honcho! He's the sweetest senior pup you'll ever meet. Honcho does have a special diet due to a chicken allergy, so his future family will need to be mindful of treats and snacks to make sure they're chicken-free to avoid upsetting his stomach. But don't let that fool you - this big couch potato still has a healthy appetite and plenty of love to give!
Honcho may be older, but he still has a little puppy energy left in him. He loves attention, affection, and giving his signature big smile to everyone he meets. On walks, Honcho likes to take things at his own relaxed pace, so be ready to embrace his charming old-man energy. If you're looking for a loyal companion who enjoys cuddles, leisurely strolls, and lots of love, Honcho is your guy!
