The South Carolina & Georgia shelters were over-populated, and some of the Northern states could not keep up with the demand. The dogs were temperment checked before they went, so they were not just passing on problem dogs. They do this in our area also. Our local shelters have a lot of dogs from New Mexico and Arizona. I think this is a great way to solve the problem of supply and demand. I do too. I gave the link to Jamie for the Women's Humane Society where I've gone to speak and currently they have NO dogs and a handful of kitties and a couple of rabbits for adoption. (They are no kill unless there is a temperament issue). Nice place...training classes, puppy-K, agility, low cost vat clinic...they really do a nice job.
