Blackjack - Pekingese Dog for Adoption in Wake Forest, North Carolina

*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ONLY ***
So fun-loving and snuggly, Blackjack couldn't possibly be any more adorable! His photos are cute but they can't possibly capture how completely scrumptious this little cuddlebug is. Blackjack has so many adorable mannerisms, starting with the way he invites you to play by sitting in front of you, raising his front legs back and forth like he wants you to give him High Fives. Just give it a name and add a treat and he will be doing that one on command! He's also massively affectionate, melting into your arms to receive big hugs and then crawling up the front of you to assume his favorite position with his head resting over your shoulder, much like a human baby. He is destined to steal many, many hearts over his lifetime! We're not sure if Blackjack ever gets tired of a cuddle since his foster family has had to tear themselves away a bit here and there to let him just play with his brother, but we suspect that Blackjack is going to prove that there's no upper limit to how long he will stay in the arms of his people! When outdoor adventures are on the menu Blackjack has a blast running in the yard, sniffing all the smells like a true adventurer, and greeting new people as soon as they appear. He's such a joyful treasure and he's ready to be your very own "Jack"pot!
