October 1st Is National Black Dog Day In The Usa A..

October 1st is National Black Dog Day in the USA – a day that aims to highlight the plight of black dogs in shelters and end the stigma surrounding their colour. 🖤

As true animal lovers, we know you love a dog no matter the colour of their fur. Sadly, though, the stigma is very much real, and the statistics speak for themselves.

Almost a quarter of the dogs available for adoption on our website are black, and almost all of them are long termers, having been at the shelter for two years or more.

One dog who knows this all too well is Blacksuite who, despite her fun and affectionate personality, has been at the shelter for 1,754 days or 4 years and 9 months!

👉 Please take the time to get to know Blacksuite this National Black Dog Day: https://www.soidog.org/adopt/blacksuite-3086

If you’re not looking to adopt, you can still do something amazing for a black dog today by sharing their stories, educating your friends and family or simply giving a bit of extra fuss to the darker-coloured canines in your life.
