Chaco is one of two young purebred Labradors at the shelter right now. He is a great chocolate Lab who is about 10 months old. He is a little shy at first, but with a bit of attention and training his confidence will grow quickly.

He likes other dogs and didn’t chase the cats that he met at the shelter. Chaco was found as a stray, and will make a great pet for just about any family.

Chaco is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
