This week, I have a special edition of my Adorable Adoptables feature for you. In the month of May, Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) in northern Virginia has been running a “Back in Black” promotion to showcase black cats and dogs looking for a home. The promotion is part of the Best Friends Animal Society’s Back in Black 2 national adoption event.

We’ve talked about black pets on the blog before as part of Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week. My motto is “appreciate, don’t discriminate” – it’s crazy that black pets have a tougher time getting adopted, considering how awesome they are. I mean, how could anyone find the sweet faces accompanying this post anything less than fantastic?

So, check out some campaign info from FOHA. Then swing by the FOHA Twitter account and Facebook page, where they’ve been sharing black pets all month! There’s even a special Black Cat Ball section on the FOHA website. It’s a pretty great campaign, and there are lots of cute pets up for adoption, including the ones featured in this post – Timber, Oreo, and Gulliver. Finally, don’t forget to spread the word about these sometimes overlooked (and amazingly awesome) adoptables!
I don’t get what the deal is about black animals. When we were getting Sampson we intended on getting one of his litter mates, but changed our mind because we heard they would bond with each other and not with us. But if we’d gotten the other one it would have been black. Really why? My next dog will be black and his name will be Sirius. Siriusly.

Amen to that!
I think those dogs look beautiful. I can’t see why the color of any animal would matter, I look for personality more than anything.

I love this series! Nothing like showcasing some special pets, who are just beautiful by the way. With love from south east Virginia.
