We the undersigned humbly request that you consider adopting a rescue dog as a playmate and partner for Bo Obama. It is estimated that for every animal purchased from a breeder or pet store, 800 dogs die in shelters nationwide.
Your administration's commitment to positive change has had a huge influence on millions of Americans. By adopting a shelter dog, we believe that you will inspire many other Americans to do the same. As you once stated, the way that we treat animals reflects the way that we treat each other.
Thank you for taking the time to considering opening your heart and home to an animal in need. We believe that you will find that the rewards that come along with adopting a shelter dog are priceless, and hope that you will consider our request with all of the sincerity and earnestness with which it is intended.

I have two dogs and when although I did not start out another. But I realized that my first dog is much happier with a friend of his own kind. My dogs give each other the emotional things I cannot. And trust me, it is no harder to care for two dogs than one. Besides, you have two daughters and I know they would both be happier if they could each have a dog to play with and love at the same time. So it would be a bonding opportunity for your daughters and Bo and the new dog.

I hope you will adopt a dog and save a life. I believe to many animals are discarded to shelters and have little chance of ever making it out of there unless they are purebreeds or puppies. I hope you are able to find Bo a wonderful friend and new family member.

I am incredibly disappointed that the Obama's did not adopt a dog in need. Surely there are rescue organizations that specialize in that specific breed.

Oh go on Obama...originally you were keen to adopt a sheltered dog - though of course your rich Kennedy pal could not resist being involved! I can't deny that Bo is very cute though! I am sure he and your lovely daughters would love another playmate, you would be a great ambassador for 'shelter dogs' and in all honesty, it's not as though you are strapped for cash to take on another pooch! peace out!! :o)

On behalf of the thousands of shelter dogs on death row, I urge you to adopt your next dog! As the Founder of Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue in Los Angeles, I see so many abandoned dogs who are in desperate need of loving homes like yours, and I'm dismayed that you reneged on your campaign promise to adopt. There are thousands of pure-breeds waiting in shelters and your decision not to rescue one of them will only lead to irresponsible people buying from breeders and pet stores to get an "Obama dog". Many of these dogs will wind up dumped in shelters and threatened by euthanasia once they lose their appeal. Please take this opportunity to set an example for everyone by opening your home to a loving rescue dog in need. For the animals, Kari Whitman, Founder, Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue www.aceofheartsdogs.com

HOW ON EARTH COULD HE GET A DOG FROM A BREEDER AND PREACH ABOUT TAKING CARE OF OUR COMMUNITIES. OBAMA NEEDS TO GO TO THE SHELTERS ON DEATH DAY WITH HIS GIRLS AND WATCH THE COUNTLESS PINK STUFF BE INJECTED INTO SO MANY LOVING SOULS THAT WERE OVER BRED DUE TO PEOPLE LIKE HIS OWN DOGS BREEDER.

Dear President and Mrs.Obama,
I have had many dogs in my lifetime,both pedigreed and shelter mix breed dogs.I know that Bo would love to have a canine playmate and your daughters would be able to each have a dog to walk together. Although many shelters are "no kill" facilities many more are not.I'm sure there are shelters that would be more than happy to aid you in finding another 'hypo-allergenic'dog from a shelter.Many wonderful animals are euthanized every day and your family's loving generosity would set an example for families throughout the nation that could save hundreds to thousands of pets that would be doomed to a lonely existance or death.
Thank you for your consideration,
Marion Weinand

Mr. President, dogs are very social animals, and I believe that Bo will be even happier to have a little canine friend around. Perhaps Bo could even help choose his new friend from a shelter.

obama did not disappoint me by not keeping his word to get a shelter dog. in fact, he reinforced my belief that he is not, and has never been, a man of his word. he just knows to say the right thing at the right time. i know i am not the only one to feel this way. it is high time he gets his act together and convince the rest of America that there is hope in him yet, by getting a shelter dog. there are a lot of "non-allergenic" dogs sitting awaiting euthanization at the shelters, lots of poodles of all sizes and colors, maltese, bichon frise, and mixes of these breeds. come on now, do the right thing for a change.
