BLACK.
Black pets are the least likely to be adopted in a shelter. Why?
Black cats, I think, is self-explainable. Some people think black cats are unlucky, because in the middle ages witches would turn into black cats(that last bit not too many people know. They just think black cats are bad luck but have no logical reason why)
Big, black, mixed-breed dogs have 2 things that mess up their chances: size(think about it. Not many people can afford to keep a big huge dog, while that little doggie is so much more manageable.) Also, they may think that large dogs are more aggressive. NOT true! Small dogs are actually much more aggresive, proved in a recent study about dog's temperaments. But since their little snouts can't do us much damage, we are sure that pit bulls are the most dangerous. (By the way, pit bulls scored better on this test than beagles, and golden retrievers!More on this in a later post!) And: COLOR. One reason may be that black animals are harder to spot in the shadows of a cage. They are also harder to photograph for online listings. An older dog with a smidgeon of white in his muzzle looks like an arthritic 12 year old dog, even if he's only seven. And those huge dogs just aren't as fashionable as little yorkies and chihuahuas.
Also, their reputation: in books such as "Harry Potter" a big black dog is a bad omen.
It is hard to read their expressions because they have no defined eyebrows.
People also think others with big black dogs are "tough guys."
And dogs who are big and black tend to have larger litters of 5 or more.
So even if a black dog has a sweet temperament, is very well-trained, and walks well on a leash she may not find a home for quite a few months, if at all.
