In shelters we know that the last to be adopted or saved are the black dogs, senior dogs and hounds. This page focuses on Black Dogs.

The stigma associated with Black dogs is just incomprehensible. Coloring is just a gene and has nothing at all to do with the temperament of a dog. You can find GREAT black dogs in every breed mix and they will have all of the great qualities of a tan dog!!!

We also have a special story about a senior black dog named Luann. After patience and a lot of people spreading the word, we are happy to report that Luann has been adopted! Click here to read her story.
