The Seal Beach Animal Care Center is holding “Back in Black2” an adoption promotion thru May 31.
To highlight adoptable black dogs and cats, the center is offering reduced adoption fees for all black, or mostly black, cats and dogs.
It will be in effect throughout the month May.
Supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society, about 100 animal rescue groups and shelters across the country, including the Seal Beach Animal Care Center in Seal Beach, are participating in the Back in Black2 promotion.
The Back in Black adoption event was introduced last year to showcase black dogs and cats and give them the best chance at being adopted. More than 900 pets found homes nationwide.
“Even though they do make wonderful pets with great personalities, black dogs and cats are often overlooked for adoption. Why is that? After all, the color of a pet’s fur has no relationship to their ability to provide unconditional love, companionship and devotion,” said center volunteer Dee Carey.
“True it can be a bit of a challenge getting a good photo of a black cat or dog which is all the more reason to come meet them at the Seal Beach Animal Care Center and find out what makes our pets in black special,” Carey said.

This adoption event is part of Best Friends Animal Society’s mission of No More Homeless Pets®.
Every day, approximately 9,000 pets are killed in shelters because they don’t have a home. Best Friends and the No More Homeless Pets® Network Partners are committed to saving them.
The Seal Beach Animal Care Center is a participating member of the No More Homeless Pets® Network (nmhpnetwork.bestfriends.org), a program of Best Friends Animal Society that offers help and support to animal rescue groups that save lives in their communities.
