I've been a member here for a few months and have really enjoyed the boards here. I haven't contributed a whole lot but I really need everyone's help today. Our situation is that we relocated to the Tacoma, WA area last summer and brought our dogs with us. Unfortunately we coulodn't have our dogs with us where we're staying so our Newf, Ebony, and our two terriers (Angus & Allie) have been staying with my cousin nearby for the past few months.
Without getting into the sordid details (all human in nature), my cousin's husband informed me yesterday morning that he wants all the dogs gone immediately. We are currently living in a situation where dogs are not allowed, and that's why my cousin has been housing them (my cousin loves the dogs and does NOT want them gone out of her house but, unfortunately her husband does want them gone and he pays 1/2 the mortgage). He told me yesterday morning we have until 2/26/06 (a week from tomorrow) to have our dogs out of his house.
The best case scenario is that in one week my whole familyl, plus our fabulous dogs will have a new place to live (I'm a personal chef and would gladly cook for the family who's willing to house us and my husband restores old houses and does general handyman/contracting stuff). But barring that amazing miracle, we need to find a new home for Ebony, Allie & Angus immediately.
I would like to find someone in the Tacoma, WA area. The dogs do not have to be placed together and we can totally understand why someone wouldn't want a Newf + two terriers (it's a crazy/fun combination!).
We need a miracle. This whole situation is beyond surreal to me and cannot even believe that I am sitting here typing this request. Letting my dogs go anywhere but with me is THE LAST thing I want to do but we're not sure what else we can do.
Maybe there are some friends here we haven't met yet. Please speak up with any ideas or suggestions. We had dogs long, long before we ever considered having children with skin. They are our babies and we have been through SO much together. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks for reading this.
