Hi Guys, I need some advice. I have a friend who has a huge heart. So huge that he currently has 29 rescue dogs living IN his house. These are not small dogs, and his house is destroyed. He intends to place them but never gets around to it. He won't turn them over to the shelters as he's afraid they would be put to sleep, and some of them probably would. He's old and physically and financially unable to properly care for all these dogs. Any suggestions as to what I can do to help them aside from taking them in myself? These are not German Shepherds, there is one purebred Malamute in the bunch, but he is very, very shy, and my friend probably would not let him go. I worry that social services or animal control will be knocking on his door soon, and I'm trying to prevent that from happening. If you intend to respond by slamming this situation (I already know it's inexcusable) or the fact that I can't take them myself, please don't bother. I'm looking for constructive ideas for dealing with this situation from this point forward. Thanks so much - I appreciate any advice you can give me. Cyndy No virus found in this outgoing message.
