Obama dog in the news

It looks like the official announcement of the White House dog will be made tomorrow, but the story has been leaked early.

What a huge disappointment that the Obama’s new dog came from a breeder.

I feel so discouraged for all the dedicated people in rescue and especially for all the homeless animals out there. This was a wonderful opportunity to bring to light the truth about dog overpopulation and encourage people to adopt from a shelter.

I have felt disappointed all day and more so since I just read a response from Jana Kohl (A Rare Breed of Love) commenting on how she feels betrayed by this development. I think of brave Baby and how we let her down.

Feels like a sad day for rescue.
