Both my current dogs are black, & I never knew before that black dogs are least likely to be adopted.(maybe they look more menacing? or their eyes are harder to
"read" their warmth?) I like all colors, but I think black dogs or cats are very handsome. Can't fit them all in here though...if only!
I think part of it is that a lot of shelters have grey flooring/cages which allow the brighter colored animals to stick out more while the black cats and dogs blend in. The shelter I volunteer has brightly colored kennels to help the black cats/dogs to stand out. It seems to help.
