Doggieping — can anyone help?
I’ve posted to my Facebook friends, but how can people contact you or her?
” a home is needed by tomorrow or they go to the pound. “
This is REALLY short notice — is there somewhere they could be kept for a few days or a couple of weeks?
I had a chocolate (liver color) lab.
I’ve known several dogs in my life, I’m now quite old, and the lab was probably the best all around: temperment, intelligence, friendly—the whole package.
He was a good boy and I still miss him.
I don’t know where you are located, but there are organizations throughout the U.S. that work for Labrador Retriever rescues. Look it up by doing a search; depends on what part of the country you’re in.
Please tell your friend to try to find a no-kill animal shelter — some of those take dogs and try to get them adopted.
Looks like she is in N CA— I heard of a place in So CA, in the LA area that she can at least call, maybe they can recommend a place closer to her that would take the dogs.
7720 Gloria Avenue
Van Nuys, CA 91406
Phone: (818) 901 - 0190
“Pet Orphans is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization dedicated to the advancement of companion animal welfare and to combating overpopulation, abandonment and the need for euthanasia. We have been rescuing, rehabilitating and placing animals in loving “forever homes” for 40 years”
Something like this would be an option on such short notice.
If they really care for the dogs, they might even want to donate to such organization for taking the dogs.
She should check in her area, or call up Pet Orphans and maybe they know of similar no-kill shelters in her area.
Sorry, posted So. CA info instead of No. CA. Here’s the right info in case no one else can help:

Have her check out:

She can look and see if there is something closer to her.
Here there seem to be one righ tin Chico, CA:

She hasn’t been trying very hard, has she — I was finding several potential no-kill shelters in just a few min — without being familiar with the area, just Google.
If she really cares for those dogs, she needs to do some searching and look in the phone book for no-kill shelters, since the time is so short, something like that might be the only quick solution.
And since the shelters depend on donation, I would highly recommend that she donates them for taking her dogs and hopefully find homes for them.
