Black Dog Syndrome refers to the bias that causes black dogs to be overlooked & we’re seeing it with 37 black dogs waiting at our shelter 🖤 Black dogs are often overlooked in shelters due to stigma, unconscious bias and the simple fact that they’re harder to photograph. Not because of their personalities. Not because they’re “less adoptable.” 😕 Just because of their color. Right now, 37 black dogs (and counting) are waiting at our shelter for someone to choose them 🥺 Every dog you see in this

There are studies that have proven that dogs (and cats) with black fur negatively influences their adoption rates. Because of this, the population of black dogs in shelters is higher resulting in a higher percentage

Have you heard of black dog syndrome? Despite her adorable face, Sandra has been overlooked for almost 100 days 😢 In animal shelters, black dogs are often passed over in favor of dogs with brighter colors or patterns. 1-year-old Sandra deserves a home just as much as every other shelter dog. She's good with dogs and a social butterfly with humans! Take her home! | Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League
