Shame on you! Maybe Grandma didn’t tell her until today that the dogs couldn’t come with her. Besides, you have no idea what she is doing on her own to find the dogs a home.
Great news! ...just saw that
I know, I will be on this till I know, or I may be shocking me wife, and that will not be good.
Sure, freepmail me.
“Besides, you have no idea what she is doing on her own to find the dogs a home.”
Well, she had to know they are moving and if I could find several potential no-kill shelters in minutes, without having any familiarity with the area, it does make one wonder. I certainly believe that OneVike had no advanced notion, but the girl should have known.
Happy Tails requires no donations. I get the impression they have a large endowment from an inheritance. Even adopting animals is low cost. . . we got one cat for $25, second free and even discounts off that for seniors. They do spaying, chipping, shots, everything. It’s all run by volunteers.
Just sent you a friend request (Bonnie). So glad to hear you found a place!!
More places to check out — see if there is anything close enough to Chico:

Maybe not. Had me convinced, but now I am not sure.
The girl is 15, which means she can’t drive. Tomorrow (right now!) is Sunday, another potential impediment...
Thanks, I’m looking, but that no kill adopt a pet I was given a link to seems like the best chance if no home is found.
I sent my sis & BIL a message, he hunts and uses a lab. They may know someone looking. If they get back to me I will let you know. They’re in Sac. I hope she can find them a home!
Here are a couple more no-kill shelters in Chico, Ca:
Chico, CA 91710 Cats/Dogs All All Paws Rescue-Rehabilitation and Education Yes
http://www.allpawsrescue-rehab.org/#
Chico, CA 95928 Cats/Dogs All Butte Humane Society
from:
http://pgaa.com/index.php/california-rescue-listings/
Both the above say they are no-kill shelters, but I would double check, just to make sure.
Labradors are probably the best dogs, in general, if a family has young children. They score amongst the lowest in terms of having a predatory instinct.
I find it hard to believe that people who know this woman wouldn’t be willing to adopt them just on the basis that labs tend to be great dogs in general.
If I were in a stable position and lived within 50 miles, I’d take them in.
They may have explored all their options to see if there was someway to get a family member to take them in.
That would be great
Thanks, because the link you gave me earlier had no Chico site. I’ll give the links to the girl.
