I hope that everyone  had a fun and safe Halloween!!   Today, November 1, launches our month-long promotion--Back in Black--and of course, our annual Doggie Style Show set for November 19.

  Most of you may not know that black dogs and cats spend a much longer time in shelters across the country and have much lower adoption rates.  Why?  We just know that black animals are the most overlooked in shelters.   Did you know that, everyday, more than 9000 dogs and cats are KILLED in shelters in this country?  Part of the work of the Best Friends No More Homeless Pets Network is to raise awareness of the needs of homeless animals, and to prevent needless suffering and death by working toward a "no-kill" America.  Good Shepherd is proud to be a part of this network, and we work everyday to educate the public and provide care for the animals in our shelter and our communities.
 As part of our "Back in Black" promotion, our black and mostly black dogs and cats can be adopted for half-price through the month.  We'll also be having special events at different times throughout the month, so check back often. 

  We  now have our own YouTube channel.  The address is

It may take us a little while to get videos uploaded, but this will be another wonderful way to showcase some of the sweet dogs and cats available at Good Shepherd for adoption.  Hope you all will visit.  I'm working on new video and photos today.
