+ Black Jack's Biography

Meet Blackjack. If you are looking for a sure bet, an ace in the hole, and an overall big win in your life, then Blackjack is your guy! This shiny black and gorgeous 58-pound guy is so ready for his forever home! While he hit the jackpot when he ended up as a Lu’s lab, in his life up to now he has certainly not been dealt a fair hand. While we don’t know a lot about how this Louisiana sweetheart has spent his 1 year of life thus far, we can guess it hasn't been easy. He was found as a stray, underweight, and ended up in a high kill shelter. Luckily, our volunteers rescued him, and now he has a second chance to double down and get the life he deserves.

Blackjack is a friendly, outgoing, and fun young dog who is waiting for the right person to love and to help him learn what it means to be part of a family. Blackjack retains a lot of puppy behaviors so he will need training but he is a fast learner, food motivated, and wants to please! He is newly housetrained, knows sit, is learning to come when called, to not jump when excited and to walk nicely on a leash without pulling. Jack (as we call him) is still not convinced about the metal box and will bark in protest. Due to still needing work on the crate, he is not approved for an apartment or shared walls.

Jack is very sweet-natured, and he is friendly to everyone. Jack plays very well with other dogs and respects when they tell him they don't want to play. Blackjack has proven himself to be a good car passenger and loves swimming.

Jack is such a cuddly sweetheart but like any young dog he needs training, structure, and a family that will meet his activity needs. He loves everyone and is approved for kids... age of kids will be determined by how dog savvy the parents and children are! His foster mother says he loves attention from his people and soaks up mental and physical stimulation from them. Blackjack has so much potential, and he is finally in a place where the cards are going his way.

He is not approved for a home with cats since his exposure to them is unknown.

Won’t you take a chance on this sweet boy? If you do, and you play your cards right, it will be “winner, winner, chicken dinner” for everyone…and Blackjack really likes the “chicken dinner” part of that phrase! ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Please know this is a recently rescued dog that is still transitioning into a new home environment. Training, and even personality and energy levels are constantly evolving as the dog starts to feel better emotionally and physically. Your new dog will take days or even weeks to fully settle into his or her true self. What you read in this bio is a snapshot of this dog’s evolving personality. Additionally, the age listed is an estimate provided by the shelter and/or veterinarian. Different vets can provide different age estimates. So always consider the lab you are adopting to be within an age range of a couple of years of what is listed. Also remember, while we are a lab rescue, we do not have papers on these dogs, we cannot confirm any breed specific claims, and many of these dogs may be mixed with other breeds.❤️🐾🐾❤️

Dean’s FM tells us that Dean is “the sweetest/most curious dog” she’s ever met. His athleticism makes her believe that Dean might be very successful at agility training, dock diving or high jump. She also says he has a unique bark that sounds almost like a duck quacking! Dean is a beautiful and sweet boy with loads of love to give. He would be a great doggie sibling to another active dog or as an “only” dog. Dean loves life and loves big. He would thrive with an active and fun family to take him on tons of adventures — maybe swimming, maybe hiking. This silly, playful boy wants to explore the world with his people. His infectious positive spirit will make every day brighter. Find out if golden Dean is the one to light up your life.
