SAN ANTONIO -- Animal Care Services is hosting a special “black dog” adoption extravaganza this Friday, January 13th to spotlight some of the shelter’s “harder to adopt” pets.

Dogs with darker colored coats have a tougher time getting adopted from animal shelters. It's so common, the phenomenon even has a name--Black Dog Syndrome. But you can change that. This Friday, January 13th, 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.

This coming from the person who calls asians "china men" sad to say. As for this, they are BLACK COLORED DOGS, NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN HUMANS. I thought we were past religious persicution but Born Again wants to bring back the Salam Witch Trials.

I must say, that I am very much disappointed by this turn of events. I thought we had moved beyond this type of behavior in this country. This is more proof that we must always be vigilant when guarding against the Devil's work. It should make no difference whether these dogs are black or any other color. All dogs are created with equal abilities by Almighty God. By the same token, we should be outraged by a day set aside for the benefit of only black dogs. Those dogs should enjoy no advantage due to being black, neither should they suffer discrimination. This is just wrong, wrong.
