Black tie, black t-shirt or a little black dress... this year’s hot trend is furry, black and will lick your face or purr for you. Whatever your taste, add style and love to your life by adopting a beautiful black dog or cat during the national "Back in Black" adoption promotion. Adoption fees for black animals are 50% off! 

Silver Rescue is holding a "Back in Black" promotion through Saturday, Sept. 17 to highlight adorable, adoptable black dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. It is part of 34-day promotion across the United States being supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.

Rescue groups and shelters across the country know black cats and dogs are often incredibly friendly and loving, sometimes really silly, they can be your best hiking buddy or a real lap baby... they each have their own personality. Unfortunately, they get overlooked. By participating in this national promotion and featuring only black animals -- and cutting adoption fees in half -- we are hoping people will take a second look and get to know these characters for the wonderful four-footed family members they can be.

To meet Silver Rescue’s ebony charmers see our list of adoptable cats and dogs. 

This adoption event is part of Best Friends Animal Society’s lofty, but reachable goal of No More Homeless Pets, which aims to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. Silver Rescue is a participating member of the No More Homeless Pets Network which offers help and support to animal rescue groups that save lives in their communities.

Amigo and FlipFlop are ready for Forever Homes!

DudeMan aka Amigo, shown above on left, is a most handsome boy in his tuxedo coat, white whiskers and necktie. He is perfectly built and looks like an exotic Pharaoh cat. He is a sweet, affectionate cat.  His favorite place to be is in his person’s lap. He is a laidback boy, yet athletic and playful.
 
FlipFlop, on right, is the spitting image of her brother in looks and attitude, just a little smaller. They love to greet you at the door with twists and turns and reels and writhings to show you just how happy they are to see you and they request belly rubs in return.
 
The siblings are good with cats and calm dogs.  They are not use to children and noisy environments; however, calm children 6 yrs old and older who are respectful of animals should be fine. They are a little shy around new people, but they adjust within a few days to new situations.
 
We found the 8 week old siblings (6 babies as well as their mother) last October 2010 in a very bad and dangerous neighborhood. Fearing for their safety so near Halloween, we immediately set out to rescue them. We were able to get all but one baby and the mother. In the days to come we tried to find them but we never saw them again. We can only hope someone kind took them in. 
 
We believe the kittens were born mid September 2010. They appear to be Siamese or Oriental Shorthair mixes. They have that oriental look to them. They are not very vocal but sweetly greet you with a gentle meow. Amigo and FlipFlop are looking for their forever home. They are great companions to each other and we would love to see them adopted together; however, they will be fine if adopted individually. 
 
Amigo and FlipFlop will be adopted to an inside forever home only. Reference, and vet checks, as well as home visits are required. Adoption fees are 50% off through September 17, 2011. The adoption fee will be used to help other kittens in need. For an application please email us at [email protected].
