"Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet
Week"
Pit
Bulls are the No. 1 dog put down in our local
shelters. There are too many of them, and there
is never enough time to get them all adopted. There's
a 'big black cat syndrome'! Hard to believe, but
many people are still biased against black cats,
especially if they're big. Once
a dog is past 1-2 years old, people flat-out expect
it to be house trained. They consider the dog
too old to be trained if they're not house trained
by 2.
Reasons
to adopt a less adoptable pet:
Older
pets are mellower - you don't have to worry about
your lamp getting knocked over! Physically
challenged pets are often unaffected by their
handicap - but you still look like a hero! With
"bad reputation" breeds, you get the
chance to prove people wrong with your great dog! Dark-furred
pets make it easy to accessorize - black goes
with everything! Pets
with behavioral issues allow you to form a tight
bond as you overcome obstacles together! Big
dogs are easier to find when it's time to go to
the vet!
