INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The Humane Society of Indianapolis says it is no longer labeling the breed on a dog's identification card at the shelter in an effort to end "dog discrimination," according to WXIN.
Dozens of dogs sit at Indy Humane waiting to find a loving home, their genetic makeup truly a mix. Staff often offer a “best guess” as to the breed and put it on the card attached to the cage.
But they’ve stopped.
“We don’t know what most of these dogs are,” said Connie Swaim, Director of Canine Training, at the Humane Society of Indianapolis. “We want people to fall in love with the dog. We don’t want you to look and the first thing you go is, ‘I’m afraid of German Shepherds, or I’m afraid of boxers.’”
