I am not a fan of shelters that “transfer” dogs from out of state.  Were there really no other dogs in RI in need of rescue so they needed to bring some in from TN?  Or were they just plumb out of puppies and cute, easily adoptable ones?

HSUS at a 4H conference!  This is unacceptable, it is purely vile and definately un-American!  Call the Natl 4H office to complain at 202-720-2908 is main office, person responsible is Lisa Hampton, 202-401-5165.  4H needs to send a letter home to all those kids parents explaining.  I think this “fall out” will be greater than the Yellow Tail (Yellow Fail) wine outrage!

@MMR—you might want to cut Rhode Island some slack, since it’s such a small state. It’s not like California shelters shopping for purebred dogs in New York. But your point is well taken. My “daily shelter” picks are not meant as blanket endorsements—just suggestions.

HSUS after 4-H….. and he says agriculture people are paranoid.

I never ever in a million years thought I would be embarrassed to be a 4-H alum.
