Black Jack

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Black Jack, a 5-month-old, 23 lb lab mix bursting with love. I arrived in Maryland with nothing but hope and a prayer that I would find my forever family. Since January 2024, I have been patiently waiting for that special day when someone would say, ‘You’re the … one we’ve been waiting for.’ I understand that not everyone would take a chance on a pup like me, given my condition called megaesophagus. It may seem intimidating to have a dog with a medical condition, but let me assure you, it’s not as daunting as it sounds. I simply need a little extra assistance during mealtime to ensure the food goes down properly. I have a special chair that helps me, and I’ve become quite the expert at using it. My foster family and the caring people at CHN (Canine Health Network) will be more than happy to guide my forever family, providing helpful tips and information about my condition. Despite my unique needs, my heart is overflowing with love, my body is ready to play, and my mind is eager to learn. I am incredibly receptive to training, as demonstrated by how quickly I adapted to my special chair. I’m even fully potty trained already! I embrace new experiences, new people, and new furry friends—no one is a stranger to me. Each day brings new possibilities, and I remain patient and hopeful that someone will give me the chance to live my best life. With the right family willing to offer a little extra love and attention, I am confident that I have a bright future ahead. The vet reassured me of this! So, to my future forever family, I am here, patiently waiting for you. I simply cannot wait to meet you, wag my tail with joy, and shower you with endless kisses! If you are reading this and happen to know the perfect family for me, I kindly ask that you share my story with them. I will be forever grateful to you for helping me find my forever home.”
