Man, you don’t understand every single fuckin thing you have back to say about Sharon is so very far from the real store! Sharon is the most self-less, honorable and generous person I’ve ever met in my entire life! Absolutely, pisses me off that people wanna talk about specifics but don’t bother to include any details regarding her value within the community! She has rescued abandon, abused and neglected dogs for YEARS w/Animal Control and has never turned her back on helping everyone in our community who’s asked! She doesn’t Rescue dogs to just sell them off! You ever consider how much money goes into keeping so many of those strays, lost or abandoned and/or rescued! She uses her own money in most cases taking care of those animals in our community who without Sharon’s help would just be euthanized! Consider what it is your really trying to accomplish by dragging her name through the dirt, tarnishing her reputation! There is alot to be said for an inhumane person such as yourself in just how you chose to write such faulty and foul articles about someone who is in fact a valuable asset in the community!

In reply to Aaron.

I don’t think you read the article very carefully. It contains the info about the CDC.

The USDA does oversee implementation of the Animal Welfare Act which regulates animal importation:

The Animal Welfare Act was signed into law in 1966. It is the only Federal law in the United States that regulates the treatment of animals in research, exhibition, transport, and by dealers. Other laws, policies, and guidelines may include additional species coverage or specifications for animal care and use, but all refer to the Animal Welfare Act as the minimum acceptable standard.

The Act is enforced by USDA, APHIS, Animal Care (link is external).

And the dogs to which I referred in the story? They did come from Mexico.

Finally, the USDA does require dog importers of all adult dogs entering the US to provide proof they have been vaccinated against rabies.

Just add you should do your research, I should check for spell check errors before clicking “post comment”. Let’s try this again.

You should really check your facts before writing articles. It will strengthen your argument. First, the USDA has no jurisdiction in the importation of dogs, except that all dogs coming from certain countries, including Mexico, must be examined and found to be free of screw worm before entering the US. The CDC requires dogs to be 4 months of age at import, as they must be at least three months to get a rabies vaccine and have it on board for one month before entering the US. Neither the CDC or the USDA require a health certificate for entry into the US (except from screw worm infected countries, where a certificate indicating the animal is free from screw works must accompany the animal, as mentioned above). The individual states are responsible for initiating their own requirements. Please do some research before writing articles…it will work out to your benefit, I assure you.

Summer Lynne Garcia I’m so sorry. Post on CL and put in a lost report to animal services. If you can walk around the area with some smelly treats and squeaky toys, it might catch his attention and hopefully curiosity will get him and he’ll come out.

Summer Lynne Garcia Oh no! I’m so sorry. Where’s this little guy from? He’s probably super freaked out. Do you have a humane trap to set at all?
