National Black Dog Day is Oct. 1 — a day of appreciation dedicated to all of the black dogs waiting for their furever homes. In shelters, these dogs are often passed over, especially in favor of puppies, who tend to be adopted much faster.
As of Sept. 26., the Mohave County Animal Shelter had taken in over 2,100 dogs so far this year, with 700 of them being puppies. This has left many dogs still without a permanent family.
