It's been proven that black dogs in shelters are less likely to get adopted than lighter colored dogs. This is also true for cats. There's a lot of superstition around black cats, which is why they have a harder time getting adopted. With dogs, people have lots of different theories. Some people think black dogs are evil. Some people think they just get looked over in shelters because their facial features don't stand out as much as lighter colored dogs.
I have two black dogs and they are both absolutely wonderful pets!
