Channing

Big, beautiful, and full of life - Channing is a young chocolate lab with a story that deserves the happiest of endings. He came to BENCHS after being seized by the Police Department when he was found abandoned in a rental unit. When he arrived to the impound, he was severely emaciated... but this incredible boy never stopped fighting for his second chance.<br/><br/>Today, thanks to good care and good food, Channing is a healthy nearly 80 lbs, and he's finally ready to find the family he's always deserved.<br/><br/>Channing is estimated to be around 2 years old, though he has all the playful, goofy energy of a much younger pup. True to his lab roots, he LOVES toys - give him a big bucket of them and he'll happily scatter them around the house as he entertains himself. He thrives with exercise, enrichment, and an active lifestyle.<br/><br/>He is sweet and friendly, but because he still takes treats with a lot of enthusiasm, we recommend a home without very small children while he continues working on gentle manners. He is also a strong dog physically and will benefit from a family comfortable with big, energetic breeds.<br/><br/>Channing is dog-selective, especially with intact males (which he did not care for at the impound). He may do best as an only dog or with a carefully matched companion. We're still unsure how he feels about cats.<br/><br/>Despite everything he's been through, Channing is a happy, joyful dog with a huge heart. He's ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter - one filled with love, play, stability, and a family who will never abandon him again.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a fun, loyal, energetic companion who will adore you with his whole giant lab heart, Channing might be your perfect match.
