🖤🐾 MEET BLACKJACK AND YES, I’M ALREADY IN LOVE. 💜
On September 22nd, a young man contacted me after finding a puppy alone in a gym parking lot after hours.
No microchip. Posted as found. Nobody came forward.
His stray hold has expired, and this little Rottweiler/Mastiff/Dobie/Bully criss cross applesauce is officially one of ours! 💜
Our vet estimated him at 10 weeks when he arrived. He’s now approximately 12 weeks old, and OH MY GOODNESS, THIS BOY. 🥹
His very first night, he was my plus one on a girls’ date with Torrie, Alanna, and little Virginia, whom he absolutely adored. 💙
He’s since become best friends with Riot, our little blue bully girl. Those two are partners in puppy crime, particularly when stuffed baseballs are involved. 😂
But Blackjack isn’t just adorable.
HE IS SMART AS A WHIP!
Already crate trained, sleeps through the night without accidents, and knows SIT, DOWN, STAY, and LEAVE IT.
When playtime ends, I open the office door, and he runs straight into his kennel, sits down, and waits for dinner.
AT TWELVE WEEKS OLD! 🤯
He’s healthy, happy, hungry, affectionate, and an absolute delight.
Recently, longtime adopters Jan & Christine who welcomed Harli in 2017 and Rocky in 2022 came to visit.
Their reaction?
HE’S HARLEY’S TWIN!”
And he really is. 💜
During their visit, I flipped Blackjack upside down in my lap for a puppy massage.
This boy COMPLETELY MELTED.
Eyes half closed. Giant paws dangling. Not a worry in the world. The photograph is priceless.
And here’s my confession.
I’ve been putting off introducing him because I already know he’ll be gone in the blink of an eye.
And selfishly? I’m not ready.
I LOVE THIS DOG. 🥹
There is something so special about the dogs currently in my care. Different personalities, different stories, but they’re all just genuinely GOOD dogs.
Blackjack is one of those extraordinary little souls.
A lost puppy who found safety, friendship, and love.
And someday, a family who won’t know how they ever lived without him.
Whoever gets to love you next is going to be incredibly lucky. 💜🐾
