Eve - reread Chelsea's post - they send dogs that will go to homes, not to a shelter. The shelter is the middleman here, facilitating the adoption of the dog
"The salukis sent from Qatar are not sent to shelters in the States so they do not add to the overflowing problem. We are contacted when there are homes waiting for salukis "
They are not taking another dog's place, the adopters want a Saluki. I do agree that these people should seriously consider adopting a domestic dog in need first, but if they won't adopt anything but a saluki, isn't it better to allow one to come into the country?
