| Let's urge Obama to adopt a shelter dog! Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a shelter dog in the White House? Check out this this link and put in your vote Barack Obama Presidential Pooch Pardon - Sign Petition and Tell Your Friends!

| i think it is a great idea but he is going to have a hard time finding the dog he wants at a shelter- shelters tend to have mixes and he needs a hypo allergenic dog. |

I doubt they'd have luck finding one in a shelter though - unless perhaps they just got lucky and found one that was rescued from a puppy mill or something.

| He is either getting a portugese water dog or a labradoodle(I think was the 2nd choice), or that's what I saw online the other day anyway. |

| I think they are going to be in big trouble with a lab/poodle mix. I just dog sat for one and while she may have been losing her puppy coat, I'm not sure that was the issue. Some of them do shed. The mixes are just too unpredictable. I think they need a purebred (whcih they could rescue).

| I signed the petition. I asked him to check out Yorkie Rescues since Malia is allergic to dogs and needs one that doesn't shed. There are plenty of Yorkies in rescues that need loving forever homes too!! Can't wait to see what they choose!!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I think it's a hit or miss with labradoodles, because labs DEFINITELY shed, but poodles don't. So there's no way to know for sure if the dog will shed. I think the portugese water dog is a good idea! They said that they'll look until they find their dog, so I don't think they're in a big hurry.

| My Doodlebug and Bogey are both Morkies and are from the shelter/rescues. If they are willing to wait as they say they are, then they will find what they are looking for. I do think they are putting a lot of thought into what they want and looking for a perfect fit and that is what really matters

| Being that their children have algergies I think they want to be sure what they are getting so I would think they would go to a breeder to make sure they are getting what they think they are getting. Just because a dog at a shelter looks like a certain kind of dog it might be a different kind.

Oh thank you! I did expect a little more of a positive response from posters in support of rescue since this is the RESCUE SECTION.
