Black dog in shelter 'keeps being overlooked' because it 'doesn't photograph well'

She keeps being overlooked in kennels due to the colour of her fur - but she hopes somebody will see through her appearance and give her the chance she deserves. One-year-old Suzanne was taken in by Barking Mad Dog Rescue in September but hasn't been able to win anybody over during her time in their care.

Sadly for Susanne, she is the "type of dog who is so easily overlooked" because she is so average-looking due to her black fur. It is known black dogs usually spend longer in shelters than lighter-coloured pets because they're "difficult to photograph" and have a "fear stigma" attached to them.
