🖤✨ BUSTA RHYMES IS READY FOR HIS CLOSE-UP! ✨🖤 Busta Rhymes got himself a fresh new look thanks to our friends at Woofgang of Lanier Commons, and we have to say… this handsome doodle is looking VERY adoptable. 😍🐾 And lucky for you, Busta is part of our Black Dog Adoption Special! 🖤 BLACK DOGS ARE 50% OFF! 🖤 September 22–26 Have you heard of Black Dog Syndrome? It’s the term commonly used in animal welfare to describe the idea that black dogs can sometimes be overlooked by adopters because of their appearance. Research on whether black dogs universally stay longer in shelters is mixed, but there is evidence that coat color can influence how dogs are perceived and, in some shelter populations, how quickly they are adopted. And honestly? We think Busta is pretty hard to overlook. ❤️ Busta is just ONE of the amazing black dogs waiting for someone to see past the color of their coat and discover the personality underneath. During our promotion, eligible black dogs are 50% off their adoption fees! And every HSFC dog comes with: 🐾 Fully vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines 🐾 Spayed/neutered 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Heartworm tested 🐾 On heartworm prevention 🐾 On flea prevention Busta Rhymes is available for adoption NOW and is included in the 50% off promotion! So don’t scroll past the black dogs. 🖤 Come meet them. Spend some time with them. Let them show you who they are. Because sometimes your perfect dog isn’t the one that catches your eye first… It’s the one who makes you stop scrolling. 🐾❤️ 📅 BLACK DOG ADOPTION SPECIAL: SEPTEMBER 22–26 📍 Humane Society of Forsyth County And a huge THANK YOU to Woofgang of Lanier Commons for helping Busta look his absolute best! ✂️🐩🖤 Come meet Busta Rhymes! He might just be your new best friend.

🖤 BLACK DOGS ARE WAITING FOR THEIR PEOPLE 🖤 Have you ever heard of Black Dog Syndrome? It’s the term commonly used in animal welfare to describe the idea that black dogs can be overlooked by adopters because of their appearance. Black dogs can be harder to photograph in kennel settings, may not stand out as much among lighter-colored dogs, and can be affected by negative stereotypes surrounding their color. So this week, we’re putting the spotlight on our BLACK DOGS! 🖤🐾 🖤 BLACK DOG ADOPTION SPECIAL 🖤 SEPTEMBER 22–26 For a limited time, black dogs are 50% OFF their adoption fees! And you’re getting so much more than a lower adoption fee. Every dog comes: 🐾 Fully vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines 🐾 Spayed/neutered 🐾 Microchipped 🐾 Heartworm tested 🐾 On heartworm prevention 🐾 On flea prevention These dogs have already had so much of their care taken care of — now they just need the part we can’t provide inside a shelter: A HOME. ❤️ Don’t scroll past the black dogs. Don’t assume the best match will be the dog with the brightest coat. Stop by. Meet them. Let them show you who they are. You might just fall in love with the dog you almost didn’t notice. 🖤🐶 50% OFF BLACK DOG ADOPTIONS | 9/22–9/26 Offer applies to eligible black dogs available for adoption at HSFC during the promotion.
