Look who's bitin' Biden....a new German Shepherd Pup!
While the country is fixated on what kind of dog
President-elect Barack Obama's family will get when they move into the
White House, his Vice President-elect Joe Biden quietly picked out a
puppy of his own last week.
According to a report from MSNBC, Biden's wife, Jill, promised the future VP a dog if he and Obama got elected. Biden found the as-yet-unnamed pup, a three-month old male German Shepherd, in a breeder's kennel in southeastern Pennsylvania, the area's Daily Local News reports.
We Muttropolitans only wish that Biden had considered setting a better example to all prospective pet
parents by visiting his local shelter or Petfinder.com to find his new pup, as there are literally thousands of wonderful German Shepherds (& others) sitting in shelters waiting to find their forever homes
In fact, after conducting an impromptu search of German Shepherd Rescue groups, Biden would have discovered that there are hundreds of German Shepherds, large or small, young or old, that are looking for a new loving home at this very moment...... like Abbey at left!

If you or someone you know is interested in adopting a companion animal, please visit your neighborhood Muttropolis store or Muttropolis.com for information on upcoming in-store adoption events. To locate adoptable animals in your area, check out www.petfinder.com .
I agree that Biden should adopt instead of getting a new pup. Here's a cool holiday greeting card that I found today, http://www.petcentric.com/crittercarols/?DCMP=RAC-PETC-DogTm-Carol08&HQS=Blog. It allows you to create animated e-cards featuring a chorus of singing and dancing pets that bark or meow your favorite holiday songs. What's more fun is that you can even use your friends' or your own pet's photos. I sent one to my friends, and boy, it was a sure hit!
