Meet Blackie!
Blackie is a happy, playful boy who gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. He loves exploring the yard, chasing butterflies, and soaking up the great outdoors.
When Blackie first sees you, he can't contain his excitement and may need a gentle reminder to mind his manners. But don't worry-he's a quick learner and will happily sit and wait for his favorite part of the day: cuddle time! Blackie thrives on affection and will soak up all the love you have to give.
With his playful spirit and adventurous personality, Blackie would make the perfect partner for someone who loves outdoor activities, long walks, and just having fun. He's eager to share his life with a family who will cherish him as much as he'll cherish them.

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...
