The Dogs Nobody Wants: Why Some Rescue Dogs Get Overlooked

Why do some rescue dogs wait months or even years for adoption while others find homes quickly? In this episode of Rescue Tails, Dr. Robert Forto and Robin Lucas of Rebel Rescue South Korea discuss the hidden biases that affect adoption decisions.

They explore why senior dogs, black dogs, and dogs labeled as “imperfect” are often overlooked, despite being loving and loyal companions. You’ll also hear real rescue stories, including Scooby, Buddy, and Maple, and learn why adopting an older dog may be one of the best decisions you ever make.

If you’re considering adoption, this episode may change how you choose your next dog.
