A phenomenon known as “Black Dog Syndrome” says black dogs in shelters are often overlooked for adoption, leading to longer shelter stays. But statistics don’t show the tail wags, the loyalty, or the love waiting just beneath the surface. Look twice. You might just find your best friend. 🖤 Personality matters more than coat color. And these dogs have plenty of it! #adoptdontshop #adoptionsaveslives #blackdogsyndrome #blackdogsrule #animalshelter #doglover #DogLoversUnite #adoptabledogs #fultonc

Let’s revisit Black Dog Syndrome. It’s a real phenomenon in which black dogs are less likely to be adopted. There is a general stereotype that black dogs are scary or more aggressive than dogs with other coats. Color bias and the fact that they are less photogenic are other reasons. 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
