Obama Disses Shelter Pets!

Silly thread Fred.

Silly Fred Thread....

I am confused, as long as a pet has found a home with a loving family, isn't that a good thing? Does it matter where it came from?

I usually got my pets after finding them abandoned on the street, I am kind of a softie and can't let them go after taking them in. I'm just happy that their new pet had a temporary home before going to a permanent home. I will bet the girls are excited!

When you are President and a role model, it does matter. Do you think if the Obama family had picked out a rescue pet, it would inspire other Americans to do the same?
And do you think the White House supporting a breeder sends out the worng message?

I had a pet trainer tell me it is a very fine line between breeders and puppy mills.

The first dog was a gift, so I would imagine they wanted another compatible dog.

Really? You have had issues introducing different breeds to each other? Or shelter dogs to bred animals?

Interesting. We have only had issues with kittens being introduced to older cats and puppies being introduced to older dogs.

Rick is a dog racist. The evidence is there. If you disagree you are a racist too.

Can we just put all this crap to rest about the breed of dog vs a shelter dog?

Malia Obama's allergies dictated a need for a hypoallergenic breed. There are only a few breeds that are hypoallergenic. This is one of them. This has been known and reported.

The breed isn't the issue. You don't think Portuguese Water Dogs have rescues?

Frankly, I have no idea, Fred. I'd never even heard of them until this one showed up at the White House.

I'm guessing if there is actually one, it's not at the shelter anywhere near Washington D.C. So then what? You'd have the president do, fly the first family out to meet the dog and then fly them all back? Then you'd been whining about that. You will never be satisfied with anything the president does. (Here's where you pop off with "I'd be satisifed if he resigned" spiffy comback).
