Black Dog Society is a non-profit organization with the purposes of educating the community about "black dog syndrome", encouraging the adoption of black dogs, and providing fellowship for the citizens of South Walton County and their dogs, while benefitting the Alaqua Animal Refuge. The Society is hoping everyone will invite their family, friends, and especially their canine friends to come and be a part of this worthwhile organization.
