Finding the Obama Family Dog

The whole animal community has been abuzz since President Elect, Barack Obama, announced during his acceptance speach that he would be getting a dog for his daughters before moving into the White House. Obama further explained that due to his daughter’s allergies he would require a “hypoallergenic” dog. 

PetAmore.com has created a poll on their home page asking their readers which hypoallergenic dog breed they would like to see in the White House. You can vote on the poll at: www.petamore.com. The poll is in the right hand side of the page, about half way down.

PetAmore will be providing the poll results to the Obama Administration, accompanied by a list of shelters and rescues that have the hypoallergenic dogs on hand.
