I adopted her from the shelter here in Austin. When we chose each other the adoption counselor was so very happy and told me about the black dog syndrome. <BR/><BR/>When I think of how close Lydia was to being killed because of her color, it breaks my heart. And sadly there are so very many out there like her who are gone now simply because of their color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250112611928201057.post-37251511403352695082008-10-16T09:56:00.000-05:002008-10-16T09:56:00.000-05:00I had read about this before.

A dog we have worked with, big and black, has stayed too long at the shelter and has been going downhill for a while. Skinny, bad coat, etc. Now he has developed a snappy, lunging habit. He will be euthanized this week. We are all very sad.<BR/><BR/>I have two black dogs that I love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250112611928201057.post-49643793060442063522008-10-16T09:17:00.000-05:002008-10-16T09:17:00.000-05:00Great post!

I have heard of this problem with adopting black dogs out before (and cats). I think its important and Im glad you called attention to the issue.<BR/><BR/>Glad to have a fellow blogger like you also participating in Pet Net today!<BR/><BR/>jaime<BR/>thoughtsfurpaws.comThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914540535668610657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250112611928201057.post-60931959800883647982008-10-16T08:41:00.000-05:002008-10-16T08:41:00.000-05:00I did not know this.

But when we went to pick him up he was completely black with few spots on the legs.<BR/>My female is a dog we found on the street and it was very easy to fall in love with her.<BR/><BR/>I never understand why people are afraid of black dog, maybe it got something to do with the black cat superstition.<BR/><BR/>My neighbor also have 2 beautiful completely black dogs, he found both of them on the street.Tannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897525367341050525noreply@blogger.com
