At his first news conference this afternoon, President-elect Barack Obama elaborated on his family’s quest to get a dog; after a reporter in the crowd asked him about the issue. Here’s a rough version of his answer: “This is a major issue. It has generated more interest on our website than just about anything else. We have two criteria that have to be reconciled. One is Malia is allergic so it has to hypoallergenic. Two, our preference is to get a shelter dog, but alot of shelter dogs are mutts like me. Whether we’re able to do this or not is a huge issue in the Obama household.”
So, good news that the Obama family is still planning on picking up a pup from the shelter! As we figured, they’re having trouble balancing Malia’s allergies with the rescue desire — but PAWS Chicago Adoption Center is ready to help the first family with that issue. As reported yesterday, they will find a pup in need that fulfills the President’s criteria. Let’s hope they take them up on the offer!
