Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Blackjack is one lucky little dude. As a 12 year old dog he landed in a high kill shelter in horrific condition. His fur was matted to his skin, he had bilateral cherry eyes, and his toe nails were completely curled under. It was clear that this older gentleman had suffered terrible neglect.
After 1 year in a foster home Blackjack looks like an entirely different dog. As a result of the years of neglect, he does have some ongoing medical needs that require daily care. But this boy has so much life and love left to give. He’s good with other dogs. He ignores cats. He loves anyone who will take him on a walk, give him pets, or offer him a treat. He loves car rides and has excellent manners. Blackjack would love a family of his own to live out his Golden Days. If you are interested in adding this dog to your family, please
go to www.goofyfootrescue.org to complete an online
adoption application. Our dogs are transported once their
adoptions are finalized. Transport runs to Middle Tennessee,
Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Connecticut.
