Need help or support in placing 5 - 8 dogs for foster or rescue

I live in Clarksville. My daughter is in the midst of leaving a bad marriage and needs to place 5 - 8 lab and lab mix and several cats. I do not have full info at this time, but will answer any messages as soon as possible.

Her steps to find homes for these pets has become more urgent. She is staying with a friend in another state and is not able to are for these pets. She has come back for a temporary hearing today and her ex. was arrested today on another matter.

If you can or are interested in helping, please im me at your earliest convenience.
Sorry to be sketchy, but I will be able to answer any messages with more complete info. Her parents (us) are unable to help much due to double disabilities and lack of transportation (our transmission is totally kaput ).

Thanks


UPDATE: as of today (Friday) the urgency of this situation has passed. Abby's ex (bonded out of jail) has gotten one of his daughters (not Abby's) to help out. She lives in Hope Ar. and some of the dogs have presumably gone there.

Thanks for your concern, support, and assistance.

organizations—there’s a national one—that will let you post the dogs with photos and full descriptions. You post by state and can post by breed.
You can try Facebook as there are many dog activists there. Google under dog rescue groups or again labradors. Some people volunteer to cross post dogs. Sometimes a group will even arrange transport.
The trick is to vet any responses, look up the groups. You should charge a rehoming fee particularly if they have up to date shots. If you don’t you could get a psycho, a person with no way to care for them, a backyard breeder, a dog fighter using them for bait.
Also check out any no-kill rescues, usually grassroots, locally.
Are they full grown? Puppies?
Your local animal care and control may or may not be a high kill shelter. Some make efforts to rehome through mobile adoptions and advertising, but many do not.
If you know the name of an animal care and control, see if Facebook lists a friends’ group for that shelter. They might help you promo the dogs.
Get pictures ready. Yes, you can use free classified ads, but charge a fee. I can look for and give you the names of some registries. They post for free. Craigslist can be iffy, but with proper vetting and stipulating a charge, some good homes can be found. If you can send me photos and descriptions I can post on my page. I have many contacts, but of course, they are trying to place dogs too. Do up flyers. You can find free places with templates online.
It is work, I know. I can try to help in the promoting. You can message me. Any neighborhood newsletters? You can sign up free and post there online. I live in Northern CA. I used to post and promo dogs and help rehome.
