Adopt a Good Black Dog, Big or Small...They Need Your Help!

Fight back against the discrimination of "Big Black Dog Syndrome"!
Please go quickly to your nearest shelter and look a little closer at that dark doggie in the kennel. That one that some might think is a bit grizzled or kind of strange looking could be your next best friend if you just take the time to find a good match.

You will be saving a life that statistically is more easily taken away by lethal injection at shelters nationwide than non-black dogs. My older sister Sapphire is mostly black, being a border collie/sheltie mix and is the best, most friendly, wonderful companion and rescue dog. However, she is often mistaken for being aggressive as she moves toward people with a huge grin on her teeth that is misread for pre-bite behavior instead of the unbridled friendliness of a herding dog. Then when people pet her soft beautiful black back and see her good behavior they are reminded of a similar dog a friend or family member has and mentally their opinion of her changes to the positive.

Check out groups like blackpearldog or Heartland Rescue who specialize in rescuing a specific breed that is commonly abandoned, such as Labrador Retrievers. Any dog of any color, size, and shape can be good or bad behaved, it depends on the owner rather than the dog. So hurry to save a darker dog before it is too late for that special one like me who got several extra chances at life thanks to my mom and dad.
