FAIRFIELD, IOWA -- Would you like to bring home a black furry and snuggly kitten or puppy? The Noah's Ark Animal Foundation in Fairfield, Iowa may have one waiting for you.
The animal shelter is participating in the Best Friends Animal Society's national "Back in Black" pet adoption promotion, an effort to get black dogs and cat adopted.
"Alot of times in shelter situations, black cats and dogs are overlooked and we don't know why whether it's the stigma of a black cat is not a good luck charm or the black dogs, sometimes most of them are big black labs and people just absolutely overlook the black animal, which is unfortunate," said Dawn Safrit, the Excutive Director of Noah's Ark Animal Foundation.
From Aug.15 -Sept. 17, black dogs, cats, puppies and kittens at the shelter are ready to take home for half the price of the adoption fee, which ranges from $65-$90.
"The nice thing about adopting from a shelter or any organization is that when you adopt from a shelter, you actually save two lives. You save the life of the dog that's in the shelter and then that makes more room for another one to come in. "
They have two black german shepherd/hound mixes, a domestic cat and kitten, and a black lab puppy. To them, visit www.noahsark.org.
All of their dogs are spayed and neutered and up-to-date on their vaccines.
Noah's Ark Animal Foundation is a non profit no-kill shelter whose mission is to rescue, protect and find homes for stray and neglected dogs and cats.
The Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit organization building no-kills programs and partnerships that will bring about a day when there are no more homeless pets.
