Blackie

Meet Blackie<br/><br/>This guy truly has it all—happy, lovable, and ready to keep the squirrels out of your yard.<br/><br/>Blackie is a 10-month-old mixed breed with a sleek, shiny black coat and the perfect size—he’s not a big dog, but not a little one either. He really is the best of both worlds.<br/><br/>He’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and fully potty trained—so he’s more than ready to settle right into his forever home.<br/><br/>Blackie is as friendly as they come. He does great with other dogs, cats, and people. While there aren’t children in his current foster home, he’s open to meeting everyone and winning them over with his easygoing personality.<br/><br/>This boy has great energy and loves to run and play, especially with the dog in his foster home. He enjoys walks on a leash, zooming around a fenced yard, and then winding down for some well-earned relaxation. At night, he’s a perfect gentleman—sleeping soundly all the way through. And when it’s time to relax, Blackie is more than happy to curl up next to you on the couch and watch TV.<br/><br/>He’d thrive with another playful dog or as your one-and-only companion. He also enjoys car rides and is always up for an adventure by your side.<br/><br/>Blackie’s story started off a little rough—he was found in Tennessee living in a rundown trailer without proper care. But you’d never know it today. He’s full of joy, love, and ready for a fresh start with a family who will give him the life he deserves.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly, Blackie is your guy.<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $465.
