Maggie Epling heard that black cats and dogs often struggle to get adopted. In a push to fix that, she is taking glamour shots of these dark-coated beauties at an animal shelter in Pike, Kentucky.

Jersey is a one-year-old female mixed breed. She is available for adoption at the Pike County Animal Shelter.

After hearing from other volunteers that black cats and dogs struggle to get adopted, she has been especially dedicated to making sure that those animals get great pictures."They think part of it is superstition about black cats in particular, but it kind of carries over to black dogs,"she said. Part of her success, she said, is that she gets to know the dogs before taking their portrait."That's how I get a sense of their personality," she said.

There's also Jersey, a one-year-old female mixed breed that Epling describes as calm and well-mannered. Meanwhile, Tiny is a small mixed breed female with one blue eye and one brown eye with a silly personality, Epling said.
