Chief Charming is a gorgeous lab-husky mix. Yellow with white markings, he has the sweet face of a lab, and the soft ears and fluffy tail of a husky.

Chief Charming is calm and quiet. Easy-going and very sweet, he enjoys being petted and snuggled. Although Chief coexists well with other dogs, he does not attempt to engage or play with other dogs. He was not familiar with basic commands, but is showing that he can learn. He is house trained and crate trained, walks well on a leash, and enjoys spending time outside. Chief is gentle with his 2-year-old and 4-year-old human foster brothers. He does not bark, but will occasionally howl.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
