My son went on his honeymoon to Turks & Caicos and came back with a real cute puppy.
This is an article about the place he got it, they're really doing a pretty cool thing there.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38434562/ns/today-today_pets_and_animals/Steve, I know your post had the best of intentions but I have to ask, aren't there enough homeless dogs in this country already? Why should anyone adopt a pet from another country? The last thing I would do is go on vacation and bring home a puppy, no matter how cute it was.
Sorry, I'm not really a pet type person and I think it is a shame that there are so many homeless dogs and cats in this country.
I hear you Rich. Personally if I were going to get a dog I'd very seriously consider one of those. I wouldn't want a pure bred and the mix is a very nice mix, though Labs are kind of dumb the Shepards might make up for it. But I'm not getting a dog, I'm too old to deal with a big dog and I don't even consider those little yappy things dogs, just nuisances. Barry Behrman looks so foolish with the little thing he carries around.
Mostly I just thought it was a nice effort by the people making the effort to save these dogs. My guess is they have quite a wild cat problem too, but at least they'd probably keep the rodent problem down.
