I'm just thinking to get a specific dog you're looking for (age, breed, gender, etc.).Sure, but why import one from afar when there are dogs in need in pretty much every zip code in this country?
My neighbor across the street brought a mexidog from a mazatlan campground clear back to Folly. Sweetest dog ever. My mutt (the bigger dog) and her are bestiesI had dogs growing up and currently have a Baja mutt rescue that was probably 4 or 5 when we took him in 3 years ago last week (they told us he was 3, lol).
imo, the rescues hit different. the way mine looks up at me pierces my soul. he is forever grateful. way more personality than any dog I’ve ever had and he’s amazing around my son.
sorry for your loss.
Agree with there is no shortage of dogs in dire need. Not sure where the "importing rescues" is coming from .... in my case ... we have 3 Nicaraguan rescue dogs .... we rescued them off the street and beach and they have become part of our family here in Nicaragua where we have lived permanently for the last 6.5 years.Not knocking you guys for importing rescues but there are no shortage of dogs in dire need here in the states. In the hood I see strays pretty much daily and wish I had the means to help them all. I unfortunately know for a fact that the local city shelter is beyond capacity and they’re literally rejecting dogs. If you find one they can’t take it. Please consider that next time you look to adopt a dog before you have one imported from somewhere else.
Also consider rescuing senior dogs. That’s what I plan to do next. I have a lot of conflicting opinions about Dave Portnoy but I have total admiration that he rescued a senior dog and raised a sh!t ton of money for the organization that aided her rescue. I’ve been enjoying the saga of Miss Peaches on IG…

what makes you think everyone brings them across themselves? I adopted my mexico mutt in Del Mar.Sure, but why import one from afar when there are dogs in need in pretty much every zip code in this country?
It’s not a wild assertion there are rescues that specialize in importing dogs from Latin America and as far away as Asia.what makes you think everyone brings them across themselves? I adopted my mexico mutt in Del Mar.
Pretty wild assertion of “America first”. All dogs matter, bro.
dogs are dogs, bro.It’s not a wild assertion there are rescues that specialize in importing dogs from Latin America and as far away as Asia.

I know multiple people who’ve rescued dogs from Korea and Mexico. Again their dogs are great and they’ve given them loving homes which I can’t really knock. But it’s also difficult not to see that we’re importing dogs here when we still have a big problem of our own when shelters across the country are at capacity and putting dogs down every day. I guess I just feel like we should work on our local problems before we start looking elsewhere. Obv if you’re in Nicaragua and you rescue Nicaraguan strays you’re doing it local. Good on you and I apologize if that post felt pointed at you.
That's so bad I may have to ban myself.I've heard the Korean dogs come pre-seasoned.
Now do human beings.It’s not a wild assertion there are rescues that specialize in importing dogs from Latin America and as far away as Asia.

I should also point out that not all rescued dogs are success stories. Many are returned to rescue orgs cause they don’t work out or the humans change their mind and also many end up back in other shelters. I really can’t help but question any organization that thinks they’re doing good by adding dogs from elsewhere to our already strained system. I guess it’s a different thing if you bond with a dog on a Mexican beach and bring it back yourself.
We don’t have kill shelters for the homeless.Now do human beings.
You should come visit me at Pelican Bay.We don’t have kill shelters for the homeless.
So by your logic we should import more Mexican and Korean people.We don’t have kill shelters for the homeless.
you're just not using the right sauce. try kicking up the heat a bit.But humans suck.
