Most Common Shelter Dog Breeds

One of the few reasons that people decide to buy a dog rather than to adopt is because they wish to have a specific breed. I am going to inform you the most common breeds that you will find in a shelter in order to know what you will most likely find when puppy shopping. Here are the ten most common breeds:

10. American Bulldog

9. Australian Cattle Dog

8. Beagle

7. Boxer

6. Dachshund

5. American Staffordshire Terrier

4. German Shepherd

3. Labrador Retriever

2. Chihuahua

1. American Pit Bull Terrier

I would also like to give The Animal Rescue Site a shout out! Check out their blog and help rescue animals in need.
