Good luck finding a PWD at a shelter. They still aren’t that common. Not many breeders around. As recently as the early ‘70’s there were only about a dozen PWD’s registered in the US. They are on the comeback but they are still pretty rare as AKC breeds go.

That’s the first thing I thought when I read the headline. I’m sure there are just tons of PWDs at animal shelters all across the country./s They’ve already picked one from an Obamamite PWD breeder and the dog will be ‘found’ by a cooperative shelter just in time.

I'm sure will miraculously appear at a shelter.

You confirmed my suspicions... I don't think they want a dog and were setting up an unlikely scenario. I think if their first choice would have been an unclaimed Tibetan KyiApso (I googled "rarest of rare dog breeds") that was found tied to the Lincoln Monument on the first Tuesday after a full moon, would have probably been greeted with cynicism...

However, by specifying that it has to be a PWD from a shelter, they could likely go his entire unfortunate term in the White House without finding such a dog. Any word on what happens to "Splash" when Teddy's other shoe finally drops?
