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.
