About Blackie

Blackie is a sweet soul who needs a loving retirement home. This gentle Lab mix has had a rough life, having been left chained outside when her owner moved to a nursing home. At approximately 9-10 years old and weighing around 45 lbs, Blackie deserves all the comfort and love that a forever family can provide. She's looking for a calm household where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. Blackie would thrive with another settled dog; she wouldn't fare well with younger, energetic pups. It's time for her to explore the world beyond her chain, and she needs a caring family to show her the way. With her short black coat, she’s ready to cuddle up on the sofa and enjoy those daily walks. Could you be the one to give her the loving home she’s dreaming of? Blackie is in Woolwich, ME, and ready for her happy ending. Click apply to start the adoption process.
