About Blackie

Meet Blackie, a charming Labrador Retriever mix looking for a foster or forever home. At just 5 months old, he's around 25.4 lbs and still growing, ready to adapt and explore. Blackie has a playful spirit, eager to take walks and participate in adventures. He thrives with other dogs, so he'll fit in best with a resident pup or a family committed to regular outings, like dog parks or daycare. His journey from Puerto Rico means he’ll need supportive humans to help with socialization and adjustment as he finds his place in a new environment. While Blackie is not house trained yet, he's currently working on crate training, and he's already spayed and up to date on vaccinations. His cuteness and affectionate nature make him a perfect companion. If you’re ready to open your home and heart to this lovable boy, he can’t wait to meet you! Considering fostering? Blackie would love that. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
