Here is phuket you can adopt a dog an have it sent to you overseas
They ask people flying to various countries to consider "traveling" with one of their dogs.
Makes no sense to me, there plenty of dogs to adopt in America

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Holy baloney. Good intentions are not enough. "Rescuers" shipped this Thai dog to California, where it's sitting in a homeless animal shelter in Long Beach waiting for a "forever family"(wtf). Basically, Jessie wasn't cute enough to pass the cut, so nobody wants her. Sounds like she has attitude too.

Dog Rescued From Thailand Has Been Waiting For A Family For 3 Years

She came to the U.S. for a new life — but no one wanted her.
By Elizabeth Claire Alberts
Published On 01/25/2019
Three years ago, the future looked bright for a border collie mix named Jessie. After spending several years struggling to survive on the streets in Thailand, rescuers from the Soi Dog Foundation scooped her up and sent her to the U.S. so she could find a forever family.

But unfortunately, Jessie still hasn’t found one. Instead, she’s been living in a small, crowded shelter in Long Beach, New York, for three long years.

Beth Zimmerman, a former volunteer at Posh Pets and Long Beach Animal Shelter, where Jessie currently lives, said she’s “heartbroken” that Jessie still hasn’t found a home.
“It's very painful to see any animal languish in a shelter for years,” Zimmerman told The Dodo.

There are a few possibilities for why Jessie’s having trouble finding a family. For one, it takes a little time for her to warm up to people, which is probably due to her time living on the streets in Thailand.

“She is overlooked repeatedly because she is not initially a 'warm and fuzzy' kind of dog,” Zimmerman said. “Beneath her sassy, sometimes tough exterior is a sweet, loving dog who responds to kindness and love in sometimes surprising ways. For example, she is finally rolling over for belly rubs from shelter staff as she is learning that they mean her no harm.”

It’s possible, too, that Jessie’s overlooked for being a black dog — in general, these dogs have a harder time finding homes.

“Perhaps being an all-black dog, she suffers from not presenting as well in online photographs, where people often start the adoption search process,” Zimmerman said.

“Because she has led such a deprived life, both in Thailand and during her prolonged homelessness in the U.S., she can be protective of the few things that belong to her,” Zimmerman said. “She would do best in a home that is somewhat dog savvy (not a first-time dog parent), where she can be given the time, love and patience to decompress from the intense stress of shelter life.”

If you’re interested in adopting Jessie, you can contact Posh Pets and Long Beach Animal Shelter.

Auto-correct not working ???
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Not yet, but that's the application fee.
What if it's not a partner Visa?

Then the applicant would apply for something besides the partner subclass 309 visa.
