Twenty dogs that were rescued overseas are now looking for a loving home in our area.
The pups survived a deadly fire at an animal shelter in Kuwait last month. It was the country's only animal shelter. Forty animals perished in that fire, but 60 survived. Of those that made it, 40 were adopted in Kuwait, and the remaining 20 were brought to the Washington Animal Rescue League.
“This is not our first international rescue,” said Dr. Gary Weitzman, the League’s CEO. “We’ve saved dogs from Canada on two occasions in the past. But these dogs have traveled farther than any others to get here. We are glad to offer these refugees from the other side of the world the services of our medical center, behavior and training department, and uniquely designed shelter. And we’ll find them the great homes they need and deserve.”

We cant feed the people in the US never mind our pets and they want to sent dogs over here for us to take care of. Thank god
Do they bark in English?
I don't believe the dumb crap we do. There are hundreds of dogs in Salisbury alone that need homes, and we are bringing them from half way across the world?
WOW... I am shocked at the attitudes about these dogs. We are talking defense less creatures talk about hearts of cold stone. As for the dogs at Wicomico Shelter they make it hard as hell to adopt.
3:50 PM We have hundreds of children in the US that need homes and yet people adopt from so many other countries, should we fuss about that also?
