I understand the desire to help animals who are suffering wherever they are in the world. I accept the positive differences between dogs in shelters here and in other countries, eg Eastern Europe. I have friends who adopted dogs from Eastern and Southern Europe. It impacts on the number of dogs adopted from our own rescue centres. There, staffie crosses, bull dog breeds, husky types and old German Shepherds for example are over represented. I've heard many people say they don't want those breeds, so intend to adopt from abroad. I don't know the answer, of course I don't, just making a point without wishing to be critical of those who make different choices.
