Black (dog) Friday was a whopping success
Who says people don’t want black dogs?
This is the line outside a Kansas Humane Society event in which adoption fees were waived on all of the shelter’s black dogs for Black Friday.
Every single one of them was adopted, according to the society’s Facebook page:
“WOW! We are all out of Black Dogs … EVERY DOG found a new home today! So far 55 pets have been adopted including 26 dogs, 28 cats, and 1 gerbil. Wahoo!”
As we reported last week, the Kansas Humane Society on Black Friday waived fees on all black dogs — often passed over in shelters — and discounted fees for other dogs by 25 percent.
On hand for the adoption event was Madison Bell, a seventh-grader at Mayberry Middle School, who recently launched the Black Dog Club after noticing while volunteering that black dogs seemed to linger in the shelter longer.
The club’s t-shirt will continue to be available this week. You can find out more here.

Brilliant promotion, one very cool young lady, and a smart crowd. Is there anything that can bring more real joy to a home than a dog? I don’t think so.
