Adoptable Georgia Dogs for August 14, 2014

Winston Churchill referred to his recurring depression as his “black dog.”

That’s a bad enough reputation, but among rescue folks, there is also what is called “black dog syndrome,” a tendency for black dogs (and cats) to spend longer waiting for foster and adoptive homes and to be euthanized at a higher rate than lighter-colored dogs.

Unfortunately, at this time of the year, many public shelters are overwhelmed by the number of animals brought in and euthanasia rates are dramatically higher, often meaning euthanization of otherwise healthy animals simply to make space for more that come in.

41189 is a small, female Chihuahua puppy who is available for adoption from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.

41105 a small female puppy who is listed as a Pit Bull, but might for all we know be part Boston Terrier; she is available for adoption from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.

41119 is a young, female Labrador Retriever mix puppy who is available for adoption from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.

39582 is a young female Labrador retriever puppy available for adoption from the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.
