Did you know that shelters have a much harder time placing big black dogs? This tendency for adopters to by-pass large black dogs is known as "black dog syndrome." No one is quite sure why would-be adopters overlook large black dogs waiting for a new home. I'd like to thank Pet Rescuer Central for posting a link to this fascinating article about Black Dog Syndrome. If you are in the market for a new dog, please don't overlook those wonderful Big Black Dogs.
Here are two wonderful big black dogs that are in desperate need of new homes. Chardonnay and Michelob were turned in together by their owner who was diagnosed with a debilitating illness. Chardonnay and Michelob are now fighting for their lives. Both are scheduled for euthanization on March 22, 2008.
These two dogs have been constant companions since they were puppies. They are now both 11 years old. Chardonnay is an adult female black labrador retriever. Michelob is an adult male shepherd mix. They want nothing more than a nice place to relax and retire. If possible, they'd love to be adopted together.
Both dogs have spent their entire lives as outside dogs, and would really love for someone to bring them home and let them live inside. Both Chardonnay and Michelob are already altered and are very sweet.
Chardonnay and Michelob also come with sponsorships for any qualified rescue that can save them.
If you can adopt or rescue these sweet pups, please contact the Stark County Dog Warden Department immediately!

Butterball and Biscuit Want to Be Your Chubby Buddies
As the owner of a chubby-tubby cat, I have a real soft spot for these guys. I can't imagine my tub-tub lost and wandering outside. Do you have a place in your heart and home for these two chubba-chubbas?
Butterball and Biscuit were picked up together as strays. They were already altered when they came in, and their chubby size indicates that someone loved them. Now they are stuck in a shelter, waiting for someone else to love them. They are very attached to each other -- they sleep together, they eat together, and the play together. They would really like to find a new home together. These two are both sweetie pies who love attention, and their adoption fee is only $80.00 for both of them. Please consider adopting Butterball and Biscuit before their time is up!
Two cats are better than one! If you are thinking about adopting your first shelter cat, consider adopting a pair! Two cats are really no more work than one cat. Moreover, if you spend a lot of time away from your home, two cats keep each other company. As a owner of multiple cats, I can tell you that it is an absolute blast to watch two cats playing with each other. They definitely keep each other entertained.
Butterball and Biscuit are currently located at the Bowling Green Warren County Humane Society, which, unfortunately, is not a "no-kill" shelter. If you can adopt Butterball and Biscuit, or another shelter cat, please contact the Humane Society immediately!
