Abdelkader / Johnny

General Notes | Meet Johnny, a striking black lab mix puppy and a true survivor. This handsome little guy was snatched from a high-kill Texas shelter at the very last minute, and he's now heading to Colorado to find a loving home. Just like his legendary namesake, Johnny Cash, this puppy wears a natural "Man in Black" suit, but underneath the solemn color is a deeply shy and gentle soul. He's ready to put the hard times behind him, but he needs a patient hand to help him "Walk the Line" into a happy, secure life. Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us.
