What are the 3 most common dog breeds in Dallas shelters?

DALLAS (KDAF) — If you’re looking for a new four-legged best friend, especially ahead of International Dog Day on August 26, do you know what kind of pups you might find in Dallas shelters? 

A new study from Hartley Law in Texas analyzed over 67,000 active listings on Petfinder to find the most common dog breeds in shelters across the 50 most populous cities in the U.S.

In Dallas, the top three most common breeds are Pit Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, and Great Pyrenees. Pit Bull Terriers are the most common dog breed in shelters across America’s largest cities, accounting for nearly 22% of all dog adoption listings in the study.
