I am very happy to see that not only is the Obama family getting a dog, but that
it's going to be a rescue.
What kind of dog will soon be frolicking on the South Lawn? Mrs. Obama says she thinks she is going to look for a rescue Portuguese Water dog who is "old enough" and a "match" for the family dynamic.
What is "dog rescue" and why should you consider it for your next furry friend? See
the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation of Sumerduck, VA, for more information.
The Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation (LDCRF)...rescues abandoned or displaced dogs and cats from the threat of euthanasia by area shelters or other at-risk situations. Once in our care, these companion animals are fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered. We also provide for those animals who need additional time and medical care before going to a new home.
Personally, I would never consider getting a dog from anything but an animal shelter or a rescue organization, unless and until the day comes when no dogs are euthanized because of overpopulation and inability to find a home. Unfortunately, that day is not here yet, thanks in large part to unscrupulous breeders and the people who purchase animals from them.
