Big black dogs.

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.

around here usually large black dogs and dalmatians (because how the movie 101 dals ruined their reputation)

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

When we rescued Sandy ( german shep/ huskey mix) it was her last day there. It even said on her cage that if nobody was going to adopt her that day she was going to get PTS, and she was about 9 weeks old!!! She was sooo cute, she was alittle brat as a pup and ate everything and chewed everything, she even got into rat poison once! But now she is the best dog I have ever had and I love her to death and im so happy we chose her instead of the little puppies up in the front room! We always have bigger mixed breeds, Labs and hound dogs for adoption.
