Hello, just wondering if anyone knows how many dog kennels (roughly) there are in the USA?
Just a regular boarding kennel. Does anyone know?
Answer
Are you counting portable kennels? Boarding kennels? Vets' kennels? I'd say there are LOTS of them. Hundreds!!..

Are there any good places to adopt a dog from in Oceanside, CA?

Are there any places to stay away from? Please let me know about any good (or bad) experiences with places in Oceanside. There are so many and I want to make sure I make a wise decision. Thanks!
Answer
Do a little research and try and avoid a dog brought in from Mexico at a shelter. Shelters in Ca have been importing Mexican street dogs and some are very unhealthy and have poor temperaments. I'll through in some links. I would avoid an import to a shelter like the plague. Anyway because California has far less people raising dogs than they do wanting dogs much of the canine population out there comes from somewhere else statistically. Whether Lloyd Levine wants to tell the truth or not. In fact 10,000 puppies are estimated crossing the border from Mexico a year because people want them. Now shelters are also bringing dogs over, It does two things, re homes a Mexican street dog, and keeps shelter numbers up for Levine and his nonsense.

âAnimal shelters in the USA are casting a wide net â from Puerto Rico to as far as Taiwan â to fill kennels,â reported USA Today. âCritics say many shelters have solved the stray problem in their own area â but rather than shut down, they become de facto pet stores. Some charge more than $200 per adoption for imported dogs.â
According to Tuftsâ Gary Patronek â the director of Tuftsâ Center for Animals and Public Policy at the Universityâs School of Veterinary Medicine â U.S. shelters may be a victim of their own successes.
âThe drive to have dogs spayed and neutered in the USA has cut down on unwanted litters. And adoption campaigns have helped empty dog pounds,â reported USA Today. âBut [the Tufts expert says] people who want to adopt dogs increasingly find aged dogs or undesirable breeds like pit bulls at shelters.â
Imported animals are filling the demand.
âIn the last seven years, one organization in Puerto Rico has shipped more than 14,000 strays to the states for adoption,â reported the newspaper. âShipments from other countries also appear to be increasing. Most imports are small to medium-size dogs popular among adopters.â
In order to enter the U.S., the imported animals do not need to be quarantined â having certificates of good health and proof of rabies shots are sufficient.
âBut Patronek said bringing dogs in from abroad runs a serious risk of importing a disease,â reported the Scottish newspaper The Scotsman.
According to the Tufts expert, âWhat makes it so scary is that you just donât know what might emerge if you arenât at least looking for it.â
And despite their similarities, shelters and pet stores have important distinctions from one another.
â[Patronek says] not-for-profit shelters may be chartered to insure animal welfare, but they are relatively unregulated,â reported USA Today. âPet shops, on the other hand, generally operate under more stringent state and local regulations.â
But some pet owners donât mind that the stray animals theyâve adopted are from other countries, not their local communities.
âI read a lot about how hard their lives are in Puerto Rico,â Marianna Massa â who adopted two imported stray dogs â told USA Today. âIt just affected me so much. I had to do something. If I had a farm, Iâd have more.â
And:
"Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois has been working on legislation which may, in the future, place greater restrictions on the importation of puppies as a public health issue. Shelters are currently importing large numbers of dogs from China, Japan, Mexico, Africa and elsewhere without any regulated veterinary health standards for these imported dogs. There have been people who have been bitten by these dogs and had to undergo rabies treatment. Asking animal shelters, animal rescue groups, humane societies, and related non-profit groups to face tighter import restrictions, to keep records, and to face the kind of tighter inspections faced by pet stores would help if they're going to import large numbers of dogs."
