Rehoming Profile: Handsome 11-Year-Old Male Chocolate Labrador Retriever Name: Scout Age: 11 years old (senior, but still active and healthy) Breed: English Chocolate Labrador Retriever Sex: Male (neutered) Weight: Approx. 75-80 lbs (solid but not overweight) Color: chocolate brown Personality & Temperament This sweet boy is the definition of a gentle, low-key companion. He is calm, affectionate, and happiest when he's near his people. He loves sunbathing in the yard, or quietly following you from room to room just to keep you company. He's past the wild puppy stage and is perfectly content with a relaxed lifestyle. Strangers are greeted with a slow tail wag and a polite sniff - he's never met someone he didn't eventually like. Activity Level Low to moderate. He enjoys short, leisurely 'sniffari' walks around the neighborhood (15-30 minutes is plenty) and will happily potter around the yard. He still has a spring in his step for things that matter (like dinner time), but he's not looking for jogs, hikes, or high-energy play. A couple of easy walks a day and he's a very happy retiree. Health ��%BD'� Neutered ��%BD'� No known allergies ��%BD'� Teeth in good shape for his age (recent dental cleaning) Reason for Rehoming We are looking for the perfect retirement home for him because of severe travel/separation anxiety. He becomes extremely distressed in the car (panting, drooling, and trembling) and panics if he thinks we are packing to leave. Our lifestyle has changed and now requires frequent travel, which is simply unfair to put him through at this stage of life. He deserves a stable, stay-at-home or work-from-home family where routines are predictable and suitcases rarely appear. This is not a behavioral issue in the home - only triggered by car rides and perceived abandonment/travel. Ideal Home ��%BD'� Someone who is home most of the time or has a very predictable schedule ��%BD'� No frequent vacations or long trips that would require boarding or car travel ��%BD'� A securely fenced yard is preferred (he's trustworthy but loves to sunbathe) This big chocolate lovebug has been our heart dog for over a decade. We are heartbroken, but committed to finding him the right forever couch for his golden years. If you're looking for an easy, loyal shadow who will repay you with endless affection and gentle companionship, please reach out. Serious inquiries only - we will screen carefully because he deserves the very best. Thank you for considering this wonderful senior gentleman. His perfect retirement home is out there, and we can't wait to find it.
