My Story
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************
We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them, and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.
Blackwell, an estimated 5 months old, male, (estimate DOB 5/2024) Pitbull Terrier/Retriever mix saved off the streets of Houston with his momma and siblings. We anticipate him to be a large size when fully grown. The family is currently in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can transport out of state once an approved adopter is lined up!
Meet Blackwell, this fun and curious puppy is one of eight boys and two girls. Coming from a big litter, Blackwell is happy playing with his siblings or is just fine playing on his own with his favorite toys. He is lovable and sweet. He shows his affection with puppy dog kisses! He is a charmer with his gentle ways and likes to be picked up and sit on you're lap. His favorite playtime with toys are sqeeky toys, bouncy balls and plastic storage lids. He also like to play tug a war, and usually wins.
Blackwell is one of the bigger puppies in the litter, so he does have a better advantage. You can see he's proud of himself as he prances around. This boy is mostly black and some white with a bit of tan. He is as handsome as it gets. He will make a great companion to those who choose this amazing little man!
He is still young, so he will need a family that can commit to training. socialization, and all the dedication puppyhood requires. His new family will need to continue with potty training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When he's old enough, he will be perfect for walks hikes, and letting you know someone is at the door.
You wont want to miss out on this fabulous little boy who is waiting for his forever home.
Blackwell has not been around cats or kids. We always recommend a home with kids who respect and understand animal boundaries. For younger kids, we expect parents who will supervise and help teach appropriate animal manners.
He is looking for a home who has an understanding of raising puppies into adulthood. This can be prior experience or someone who will seek support as needed (training, friends/family). Puppies bring so much joy, but also need intentional and committed attention. They need help socializing with new people, other dogs, leash work and basic obedience.
Puppies under 6 months of age are placed on a spay/neuter contract until they are old enough to be altered.
For puppies this age, someone needs to be home more than they are away as crating them for long periods of time is not conducive for their developmental needs. If you work outside of the home longer than 4 hours, please explain who will is available to spend time with this puppy while you are aware. If that information is not included, we will not consider your application.
***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***
