While TLBD rescues dogs of all sizes, shapes, colors and breeds, as part of our mission, we recognize that ​black dogs are traditionally passed over for adoption in favor of light coated dogs. We love a black dog and want to do as much as we can to support these pups and raise awareness of “Black Dog Syndrome.” Tune in to learn more about the barriers black dogs face, and learn more about the many adoptable black dogs of TLBD!
