Stereotypes and myths about our dark-furred friends abound. Believe it or not, these superstitions and misunderstandings actually make it less likely for them to get adopted. Shelters call thisBlack Dog Syndrome.:
Part of the problem is simply the fact thatblack pets are harder to...

Three of the cats are going back to their regular foster home by the end of the weekend. And one of the dogs is pending adoption and should be gone in another week....
