| It's definitely true. If you have a litter of say lab-mix pups at a shelter...some blonde and some black. I guarantee you those blonde ones will get adopted out first. I think part of the problem though is that black is normally a dominate coat color and that there are more black dogs in shelters. But I guess a lot of people prefer the lighter coats when they adopt

| That picture breaks my heart I had to close out before reading. It makes me sad, I'd take them all home if I could. I've heard that before though about black dogs. Sad

| Sad but true. I know that black greyhounds hardly EVER get adopted (except by me!)
