    Bully breeds. Roxy was one of those, and she was on her last day before we thankfully adopted her.

    I also think it depends where you live. It's usually Bully breeds around here, and many older dogs.

    Around here, non-pitties rarely stay over a week at our shelter. I've known some pitties who spend years at the shelter. Without a doubt, pitties are the last to go. Goes to show you how stereotypical and presumptuous people can be.

    We actually always had a waiting list for any pit bulls we happened to get in. I had never seen hounds stay too long at our shelter either. Maybe because there aren't too many of either in this area.

    Far and away, the last dogs to be adopted were large black dogs. Most of them around here were either lab mixes or border collie mixes. Those two mixes probably comprise easily 75% of the dogs in our shelters and animal controls at any given moment.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Probably Pitties/bully breeds, big black dogs, seniors, and handicapped dogs.
