Story
My good friend died after a battle with a rare liver disease. While she was in and out of the hospital a lab got in their yard and impregnated their part lab part American out mix. It was a harrowing time for the family. Eventually my friend died and her husband and 16 year old daughter were left with these sweet but very lively puppies. Her daughter is being called from school by animal control. There is no time to grieve the loss of her mother because of these dogs. I have called everywhere in their behalf. No one has room. Please help.

Story
We purchased this Lab at 6 weeks old from a pure breed lab as a playmate for our Golden Retriever. He will be 1 years old in May. My husband and I have recently divorced. He kept "Camden" and I moved out and kept our Golden. My ex husband works 12-14 hours a day and he's unable to provide the care/attention he requires. Camden is still in his "puppy" stage and in need of training and a place that has a yard to run in. He is house and create trained. He's a great family dog and gets along with others.
