PAWS OF THE PLANET
BIG BLACK DOG BANDANA CAMPAIGN

Did you know that black dogs, specifically BIG BLACK DOGS 
are usually the last ones to be adopted from shelters?

BIG BLACK DOGS are euthanized at a higher rate than other shelter animals!
          
This phenomenon is so common it even has a name:
-BIG BLACK DOG SYNDROME-

Why Aren't They Adopted More Readily?
Here's One Reason:

Black Dogs Do Not Show Up Well Behind Bars
People Walk Right By Them, They Don't Even Notice Them.


HELP US SHINE THE SPOTLIGHT
 ON THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS!


Please Support Our
"OUT OF THE CAGE - INTO YOUR HEART"
yellow bandana campaign


As Little As $2.50 Will Bring Renewed Hope To
ONE BIG BLACK SHELTER DOG



Paws of the Planet will provide bandanas to shelters. There is no monetary cost to
the shelter. We simply ask they respect our mission and use them to feature Big
Black Dogs only.

We're appealing to you to help us so we can help these dogs through awareness and education.
Together we can make a difference and end this syndrome.
This is a campaign where everyone can help.

LucyLUCY (ID# A014833) is a spayed female, black Labrador Retriever mix. The shelter staff think she is about 4 years old. Lucy is very sweet and knows a few basic commands. She came to us with flea allergy dermatitis, so her coat looks bad. But she is responding well to treatment, and she is one happy, frisky girl. If you are looking for a great dog for your family, come visit Lucy!
In addition: when Lucy first came to us she was infested with fleas and her skin and fur looked horrible. She has responded to flea treatment very well and her hair has grown back and is lustrous. So her coat no longer looks bad. She is quite high energy, is very affectionate, playful and seems to like other dogs. She might do quite well in a home with another dog, especially if it is a male dog.

Sheba belonged to a homeless man who became ill & hospitalized. She was put in one shelter for 6 months, going from hopeful to severely depressed to another shelter where there was more interaction with volunteers. She is now one happy gal with 2 other dog playmates and a handful of cats!
