The Back in Black adoption event highlights and celebrates pet adoptions.  It’s designed to bring attention to the special need for adoption of black shelter and rescue dogs and cats. So often these homeless pets are overlooked just because of the color of their fur and outdated myths. Families are cheating themselves when they walk by these characters without getting to know their friendly, loveable and sometimes goofy personalities.   

Supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society®, about 100 animal rescue groups and shelters across the country including Furry Kids' Refuge are participating. Last year, the Back in Black adoption event was introduced to showcase black dogs and cats and give them the best chance at being adopted. More than 900 pets found homes nationwide.

In support of this national event, Furry Kids' Refuge is holding a “Back in Black" promotion between May 1 and May 31 to highlight adorable, adoptable black dogs and cats. The adoption fee for all black dogs will be half the normal fee!! WOW!!

"We allow businesses to mass market the sale of puppies in the name of free enterprise, and then we mass murder those same puppies in the name of health, safety, and welfare ringing up a hefty pricetag for tax payers. John Q. Public pays twice for that puppy. Once when he purchases it, and again when he relinquishes it to the shelter to be euthanized. We push these puppies on people and then we pass legislation telling them they cannot own them. There is no reason to this madness and the madness must stop."
