Blackie (Bonded Pair w/Timber) Black Labrador Retriever Mix Marietta, OH

Blackie is an adorable 9-month old male Shepherd mix who was surrendered by his owner on November 5, 2023 along with his best friend (Timber) because their landlord would not allow the boys to stay in the rental property.

Blackie has a sleek black coat with a small patch of white on his chest, a long tail, and a beautiful face with expressive brown eyes, a black button nose on his slender muzzle, and large semi-erect ears.

Blackie and Timber appear to be very bonded with each other and are currently sharing a kennel so that they may provide a sense of comfort/security for each other.

Blackie & Timber had a lot to talk about when they were in their kennel and were a bit intimidating. They were obviously two frightened youngsters who showed their fear by putting up a brave front .. But when HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan and HSOV Volunteer John Tynan spent a little time getting acquainted with them, they were happy to accompany them outdoors for their Petfinder/Facebook photos late in the afternoon on November 5, 2023. Blackie accompanied Fredley Tynan while Timber happily pranced along with John Tynan so that the boys were never far apart during their photo sessions.

Blackie weighs 51 lbs and will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized. He and Timber would also be available for fostering with an approved HSOV Foster Application.

Their previous owner told us that Blackie & Timber were good with the one child whom they had been around and that they were good with other dogs (but skittish around cats). They had been kept indoors and were housebroken.

Blackie & Timber are being listed as a bonded pair.
