Black Dog Syndrome

This is Lulu. From the moment she was born there were some things that were already certain in her life. She was more likely to be turned in to a shelter or pound, and she was less likely to be adopted. She was more likely to have a lengthy stay in the shelter than certain other pups. She was even more likely to be euthanized...especially in the Midwest. Why? Because she is a black dog of mixed breed, a black Lab mix to be more specific. It is called Black Dog Syndrome. To read more about BDS - http://meghanmg.blog.com/black-dog-syndrome/

If you are considering adoption, please do not glide past the eager to please, fun loving, and just as deserving black faces. Don't let Black Dog Syndrome take hold in your community.  Here are just a few of the wonderful black dog mixes you can find at GHAS.If

    Crabbe - Loves to be around children  

          Deniro - One-eyed wonder (blind in one eye)  

     ************************************************

The adoption fee for a cat is $69. (Adoption fee includes shots, worming, and a spay/neuter voucher if the animal is not already spayed/neutered.  Some cats have been Feline Leukemia tested and some dogs have been heartworm tested.)

These cats & dogs have been at GHAS the longest & need homes ASAP.

DOGS-  Sally

CATS- Myrtle
