THIS LITTLE GUY LOOKS LIKE A AVERAGE LITTLE BLACK DOG....NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HIM FROM HIS PICTURE...But his Foster Mommie says he is almost next to perfect with his charming ways and gentle loving personality. His little brown eyes tell the story of his abandonment, his wisedom is beyond his years......he wants only be loved and showers you with kisses while his little body waggles with delight.....There are no scars on his personality...he has forgiven those who abused and dumped him and you wont find a more friendlier, smarter or happier little dog no matter where you look.. Bodhi was abandoned in an industrial area and was a desperate little boy trying to find solice somewhere. He hung around a factory and a couple of workers fed him scraps from the lunch truck. Bodhi would wait by the factory door every weekend , wondering where everyone had gone and why he had no food or water, his little stomach growled with hunger and his mouth was dry and parched....then Monday rolled around, the workers came back and tossed him scraps from the lunch truck. A guy who worked there took pitty on this frail little dog and called our rescue for help. Bodhi is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever find. He may be just a small guy but has a huge heart of gold inside his little body. He only wants someone to love him and someone to love back, he is a quick learner, doing really well with his potty training. Bodhi is currently being fostered in a home with 6 other dogs of various breeds and 3 cats and he truely loves each one of his siblings ( even is they meow!) He is a happy and healthy little boy despite his meager beginnings. Bodhi will put a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart.....he has been waiting a long time for his forever home and will be a loyal gentle friend and companion....Won't you consider giveing this little fellow his very own home with a soft warm bed and make his dream come true? BLACK DOG SYNDROME: If you've never worked at an animal shelter or been involved in rescue--you're probably pretty puzzled at this point. What exactly is "Black Dog Syndrome?" Well, it's a term that refers to the lower adoption rate of larger black or dark-coated dogs at shelters. Also referred to as "Big Black Dog Syndrome," people seem to have a habit of passing up larger black dogs and opting for smaller dogs and ones with lighter coats. STATICS ARE THAT BLACK DOGS HAVE THE LOWEST ADOPTION RATE AND ARE EUTHANIZED MORE THAN ANY OTHER COLOR OF DOG. IT IS A SHAME THAT A GENTLE LOVING CREATURE IS OVERLOOKED FOR THIS GENETIC TRAIT AND THAT OUR SOCIETY IS SO UNFAIR TO THEM. PLEASE CONSIDER ADOPTING A BLACK COATED DOG . You can help promote black dogs that are up for adoption at shelters and rescues by posting photos on your Facebook, MySpace and website, or help pass their photos around. Black dogs don't show up as well in pictures and it's harder to see their expression, which is another reason why they are not as easily adopted.
