Hi Folks,
My name is CJ and I was adopted from Lab Rescue on November 9th, 2009 and I couldn't be happier. My new home is in Quinton, Virginia and I share it with Chip & Jean Alvis. They absolutely adore me! I have learned new tricks with the help of a wonderful dog trainer by the name of Valerie Paul. I can now walk without pulling, sit and stay on command. I can even say my prayers. Pretty soon I'll have my GDC (Good Dog Citizen) and then I'll start working on my therapy dog training. That way I can help other's who may need a helping hand. All of this is because of Lab Rescue of Richmond who gave me a second change to be a first rate dog. I'll keep you posted on how I'm progressing.
Doggy Kisses to all,
CJ

Update:
I am now a certified Therapy Dog!!! My Mom & Dad (Chip & Jean Alvis) love me a lot and hired a trainer to help me learn how to be a therapy dog. It's pretty easy for labs. We were born to be lovers. I now visit two Assisted Living Homes and life couldn't be sweeter. It's great getting your ears scratched and your belly rubbed. I could stay there all day long. I even have my own blog now. It's called "Needing help to Giving help" and it's the story about being a therapy dog. Thank you, Lab Rescue. You're the best!!!
