[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given how many dogs are euthanized every day in the US, why not focus on finding them homes?[/quote]
We can do both. It’s not one or the other. [/quote]

No, we cannot as if we were the shelters here would not be full.  [/quote]

The shelters here are not full of adorable dogs.  The decent dogs go almost immediately.  What’s left are nasty pits or relderly dogs with expensive medical conditions.  We really don’t have a problem with great adoptable dogs languishing in shelters.  [/quote]

'Nasty pits'  that is your opinion that they are nasty.  Btw shelters are also filled with huskys and big dogs like shepherds[/quote]

If they are healthy and don’t have major behavioral problems, the shepherd and husky mixes go fast.  I have repeatedly called about ones that were available one day and gone within a few days.  There is not a surplus of shepherds languishing in shelters.  Look at any shelter online sheet and 90% will be pit or obvious oit mixes … then call about one of the non-pit dogs and they will likely be gone.  Sometimes they have a geriatric lap dog that belonged to some old lady who went into assisted living that is not well socialized.  [/quote]

Weird, because if you look around tons of dogs available to adopt.  Why not put a priority on getting those adopted before bring over more?[/quote]

Tons of dogs available to adopt and also tons of people adopting.  The question is really whether there are dogs languishing …and I really don’t see that, except for dogs with a lot of pit in the mix or dogs with obvious issues.  I’m not necessarily saying it makes sense to fly these Korean dogs over here to adopt but I reject the premise that there are lots of nice admirable dogs for which they are not ready adopters.  There is still unmet demand for adoptable dogs that are not part pit, IME.  Even out West, they are not putting down non-pit shephard mixes that are non-biters.   And in the south they just ship them up here and everyone takes them.
