i just had to add my 2 cents. I work at a himane society and we were actually talking about this today at work. I'm not entirely convinced it is a good idea. I think alot of people would get an animal because its free or cheaper than the rest, not because they truly want an animal or because that is the right animal for them. Instead of getting the white dog that is right for them, they get the black dog that is cheaper and they very well could return him when they find out dog isn't what they were looking for.
