Black dogs and cats are not, unfortunately, people’s first choice when it comes to adoptions.
Ending up at a shelter is bad news for any animal, but black animals are last on the adoption list and they have to wait for the longest for someone to adopt them.
Why does this happen with black cats and dogs? According to Emmaobrien “I’ve done a bit of research on this and there seem to be four major reasons that black dogs and cats are last on the list for potential adopters – firstly, they don’t photograph well (I think these images disprove that point) which is tragic if you want to take over Instagram with your new pet (repeatedly smacks forehead against wall), secondly, black dogs can look intimidating and aggressive, thirdly, black cats are superstitiously unlucky (or should that be stupid-seriously) and lastly, they are a bit plain and boring to look at.point 657 |

She is a fan of championing the underdog (and cat), so she shares images to show that black dogs and cats are far from boring. She says “I have of course used some creative license with the descriptions (aside from Casper who really did try to wear a feather boa) because, like a publicity-hungry Kardashian, I’ll do anything to get shelter pets the attention they deserve. I’ve even made a book about shelter dogs.”
All the animals shown in pictures are now living happily they have been safely adopted/rescued and now living with loving family homes.
