Please use our official website rather than the Petfinder "Start your Inquiry" button.<br/><br/>Meet Kodiak #4, a gorgeous purebred chocolate male Labrador Retriever, born August 12, 2025. At just over a year old, Kodiak is still very much a youngster with his whole life ahead of him. Kodiak is one handsome boy, with a beautiful rich chocolate coat and those wonderful expressive Lab eyes. But while he certainly has the looks, no one has spent much time teaching this young guy what is expected of him. Simply put, Kodiak doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.<br/><br/>He has had very little training, so his new family will need to be committed to putting in the time to teach him basic commands, leash manners, and all the things that will help him become a well-mannered family companion. At only a year old, he is at a wonderful age to learn, but Kodiak needs someone who understands that training doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement will be important.<br/><br/>Kodiak is a young Labrador who has simply missed out on some of the guidance he should have received during his first year. Now he needs someone willing to give him that opportunity.<br/><br/>Underneath that beautiful chocolate coat is a young dog just waiting for someone to show him the ropes. Kodiak may have a little catching up to do, but his story is really just beginning.<br/><br/>QUESTIONS: For additional information about Kodiak #4 please email Ann Hilchey: ann.hilchey@labs4rescue.org<br/><br/>Kodiak #4 is being fostered in Connecticut.<br/><br/>BEFORE YOU APPLY: Please review our "Adopt a Lab" page (labs4rescue.com/adopt) and our Sample Adoption Contract.
