Photographer Fred Levy took a photo series he calls Black Dogs Project after a conversation he had about how homeless black dogs have a harder time getting adopted than other dogs. The phenomenon is often referred to as “Black Dog Syndrome” or “Big Black Dog Syndrome” among animal rescuers.

Black dogs appear to be adopted at a much lower rate than other homeless dogs. Although there is no scientific study that proves there is, in fact, such a stigma, animal shelters notice potential adopters often overlook black dogs – especially the bigger, mixed breeds in favor of other fur-colored ones.
So Levy wanted to highlight black dogs by taking high-quality images to bring attention to the issue and show the dogs in all their glory.
