Now that the world's media awaits the Obama team selections, and of course news of the "New puppy" he promised his daughters "is coming with us to the white house"  (naming poles are out already), it is timely again to draw the President elect's attention to the Humane Society Of The United States (HSUS).  What a good  Presidential move it would be to adopt a puppy from a shelter this week, when it is also time to celebrate National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week! Obama's friend Bruce Springstein would approve as this year's theme is "Shelters Rock!"  As Obama and his family take a rest from campaigning this weekend, perhaps we should take up the mantle and campaign for them to adopt the future White House dog from a shelter?? 

If you want to get involved directly with the HSUS campaign, they have some easy suggestions on their webpage, just follow the link above.
