Save Our Potcakes
Howdy Friends!
We want to share some truly tragic news that will impact thousands of rescue puppies like us. The CDC issued an edict effective August 1st which will BAN ON ALL PUPPIES UNDER THE AGE OF 6 MONTHS, regardless of their origin, health or vaccination status from entering the United States.
If this non-legislative edict had been in place last summer, we would not be here right now enjoying our family and this amazing place called "Texas"!
Some things to ponder:
- Puppies over 20 pounds are not allowed on most commercail airlines. We were 20 pounds by the time we were four months old.
- Early bonding, socialization and training are critical to raise well-adjusted, happy dogs and prevent behavorial problems in adult dogs.
- A fully vaccinated puppy at 5 1/2 months is prohibited from entering the USA under this edict, yet an unvaccinated dog at 6 1/2 months can enter.
- Cats are exempt from an age restriction or vaccination requirement and yet more cats have rabies in the USA than dogs (CDC data shows the last K9 rabies case was in 2008).

Our Rescue Organizaiton, Potcake Place K9 Rescue is leading the effort to get this cruel ruling overturned and give pups like us a chance for a home, but they need your help!
