Blacky, chihuahua mix
Blacky is a male chihuahua mix currently housed at STAR - Support Team Animal Rescue.
Blacky gets along well with cats, dogs and kids. He is already neutered and vaccinated.
Here's what his friends at STAR - Support Team Animal Rescue think of him:
Meet Blacky! He and his brother Browny came to STAR right out of a backyard. They have lived all their lives outside, but are very social. Both of them are very sweet little dogs and get along with all other animals and people in their foster home. They don’t’ need to be adopted out as a pair, but if someone has space and the heart to take on two little, very friendly dogs, we will also adopt them out together.
