This phenomenon is so common it even has a name: big black dog syndrome or BBD.
Take a look at our adoption page right now and you will see almost all black dogs. Some of these dog’s siblings have been adopted, often because they had a lighter colored coat. Yesterday we brought in 3 more black pups, we have litter of 6 black pups coming up for adoption and 5 out of 9 more pups in a second litter. When you look for a dog, please think about personality and temperament and consider giving a black dog a spot in your family.
Annie, Amy & Anna are three beautiful black and tan sheppard crosses that have been waiting patiently for their forever home. Have you passed over them because they look to “ordinary” ? These girls are far from ordinary and promise to give you unconditional love and companionship.
AARCS has no paid staff and is run completely by a small group of volunteers concerned about the welfare of abandoned, abused and surrendered dogs in the province of Alberta. Our volunteers range in age from young children to seniors, but all are animal-lovers who are looking to make a difference. If you are interested in becoming a part of the AARCS team please check out our Volunteer and Fostering pages.
