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 fsmily....maybe yours??? I am ready! Are u???? Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
