SAN ANTONIO -- Think Black Friday only comes around in November? Think again! Animal Care Services is hosting a special “black dog” adoption event starting this Friday, April 13th to spotlight some of the shelter’s “harder to adopt” pets.

Dogs with darker-colored coats traditionally have a tougher time getting adopted from animal shelters and it’s so commonplace the phenomenon even has a name—“black dog syndrome.”

Through this Sunday (April 15th), all black dogs and puppies will be available for a special adoption fee of just $25.

All pets adopted from ACS are sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped and de-wormed. Each comes with their first annual City pet license and a free bag of premium pet food.

ACS is located at 4710 State Highway 151 off old Highway 90. The shelter is open for adoptions seven days a week with hours of 11am to 7pm Monday through Friday, Saturdays from 11am to 5pm and Sundays Noon to 4pm.

ADL is also having a huge black pet adoption event this weekend, and they have lots of black dogs and cats, some big and some small, who would love to have a family to call their own.

Throughout the weekend of April 14 – 15, ADL will host a special Black Pet Adoption and Awareness Event with the hopes of finding homes for many of the shelter’s darker-coated residents. All dark-coated dogs over 4 months of age will be available to adopt for just $30. All dark-coated cats over 4 months of age can be adopted for only $20. You can visit ADL 7 days a week from 10 am to 6 pm.

All ADL cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, micro chipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
