Blackie is probably not the best name for a puppy who is black.... and knowing that historically black dogs are adopted slower than other dogs or pups..
I EMBRACE my beautiful dark mahogany color!! I am a puppy who lived through time at the pound, because the rescue loves me AND black dogs ;) so I am already batting 1000!!
I am learning how to be a good dog with my doggy friends and the rescue people too ;) I love to play! I am lanky, like a teenager and goofy like a teenager.
I am looking for a loving and committed family....maybe yours???
I am ready! Are u???? 😀

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
