9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home

Labrador Retriever · Female · Senior · 17 years

This beautiful 9-month-old chocolate Labrador is looking for a very special home where she can continue to grow and thrive. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped and has lived with both adults and young children. However, due to her size, strength and exuberant nature, we are looking for a home with children aged 17 years and over. Sadly, this is her second home, so it is important that her next home is one that can offer the time, commitment and consistency she needs. She is a loving, affectionate young Labrador who enjoys being around people and loves attention. Like many young Labradors, she is full of energy, but she is particularly boisterous and will need an experienced owner who understands the breed and is prepared to invest time into her ongoing training. She has a habit of jumping up when she’s excited and can become over-stimulated, often jumping over furniture and trying to catch anything that moves, including shadows. These behaviours will require patient, positive and consistent training to help her learn appropriate boundaries. She is currently walked using a Halti, but when she sees another dog she can become very excited and will try to back out of it. She is an extremely strong girl on the lead and will need an experienced handler who is confident managing a powerful young Labrador while continuing her lead training. We are looking for a home with someone who is around for most of the day and who can provide the structure, routine and training she needs. Ide

Frequently asked

Adopting 9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about 9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Labrador Rescue South East and Central handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt 9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Labrador Rescue South East and Central will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner.

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if 9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Labrador Rescue South East and Central early rather than rehoming privately; they know 9 month old Chocolate Female looking for an experienced home and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
