I have trained and titled dogs in competitions from AKC Obedience to USPCA Police Narcotics. You say “I believe it to be a hugh public health concern , a danger to our wildlife, & a health concern to our domesticated animals as well.” I ask you to please provide some specificity to substantiate your beliefs. I am prepared to be pursuaded.  Thank You.

And why on Earth would we slam people who adopt animals? Opposition to irresponsible dog importation does not equal some sort of blanket opposition to rescue and adoption.

We encourage lively discussion, and you are welcome to disagree with our position, but please use a logical argument next time — or at least try to make sense. Thank you.

Get this, two of these new adoptive families are retired military! Maybe NAIA should start to slam the military??

I’m a resident of Maine, active lover of dogs, & President of the Maine Federation of Dog Clubs-DBA NAIA Trust. I have a long-time concern regarding the importation of dogs to Maine from out of state & out of country. I believe it to be a hugh public health concern , a danger to our wildlife, & a  health concern to our domesticated animals as well.  as I also feel that this is becoming a business for the importing shelters.I strongly feel that everyone has the right to get a dog from whomever they choose, but they need to get the needed information to make an educated decision.As usual, NAIA continues to inform, promote debate, & provide needed answers.
