Shepherd and Chocolate Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Zanesville, Ohio

Hello, I'm Chomper! I am a friendly, sweet lab/shepherd mix. I have plenty of energy too. They tell me I'm goofy here because I wag my whole body instead of just my tail- but I can't help it! I love attention and pets and can't wait to get them. I like other dogs, too, and have a couple of buddies here. I can be a little timid at first when meeting dogs because, even though I am not a super young puppy, a lot of things are still new to me as if i were. I learn and adapt very quickly though, probably because i'm so smart- if i do say so myself. I'm very treat motivated too, so I could learn lots of cool stuff with my own person!

I am very vocal, and am still learning how to act when i see someone, including another dog, i want to greet on leash. Sometimes I get so exicted I forget my manners, but I am learning fast and get better everyday. I could be your best buddy, your ride-or-die, if you give me a shot!
