    I'm just passing this along to anyone that might be interested. I would jump all over this if it wasn't for some personal commitments that wouldn't allow me to be home enough for these girls.

    Please pass along to all family, friends, coworkers - spread the word and help find these two adorable labs a home.

    Young - & female - well cared for. Family losing home.
    Desperate to find loving home.

    Already housebroken, trained, love kids, neutered, up to date on shots....what more could you ask for.
    But must stay together.

    The story...

    This family has lost their home and the apartment does not allow dogs.
    They are looking for a home for the two Labs. See below :

    As many of you know, we are moving in just 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find a good home for Cookie and Coco .
    We're not able to take our beloved doggies with us and I've been desperately trying to find a home for both of them 'together'. They were raised together and pine without each other. The Lab rescue have already said that they would probably separate them, so this is my last resort.

    Recently I tried to take Coco out in my car alone and she TOTALLY refused to even get into the car without Cookie.....!!!! She absolutely pulled back on her haunches until Cookie was by her side.Both doggies are in great health, have been spayed and have ID chips implanted under the skin.

    Cookie turned 3 December 10th and Coco will be 3 April 1st. Cookie is my mellow-yellow, and just loves her tummy rubbed. Coco is adorably funny and lives for her "ball". She also loves the water..... Cookie loves lots of attention. Both doggies are loyal and love to walk. They have been raised with my 3 kids running around all over the place, and have survived Sammy's constant hugging and love of 'dress-up', so they are fantastic family dogs. This is by far one of the most difficult decisions I have ever had to make, but under the circumstances I have no choice.

    Please, Please forward these pics to all you know and help me find a great home for these fabulous doggies. They are just adorable and it's heartbreaking to let them go. In a perfect world, I hope that we could find someone local so that we can still keep in touch and visit them.
    I pray that someone, somewhere can help us keep Cookie and Coco together, and love them just as much as we do. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

    I wish your friends the best of luck. Times are tough... I volunteer with my local SPCA, and all our foster homes are maxed out. There is just so much need out there right now. :(

    Thanks. I read an article in the paper that said some people are leaving their pets in foreclosed homes. My sister tells me that a realtor friend of hers has found six dead pets in homes like that. Certainly the human toll from this economy is huge. People tend to forget about our other family members.

    I didn't see, in what state are the dogs located? I can cross post on a pet forum.

    ALSO, advise owner to consider surrendering the dogs to a Lab Rescue. Every breed has breed rescues. Rescues hold the dogs in foster homes, carefully screen all applicants. Most will NOT separate bonded pairs, and it does sound as if these 2 are bonded. Advise owner to Google:

    Lab Rescue

    Can add state abbreviation at the end to limit the search a little bit.

    I'm going to email her. I'm very interested in those two since I used to have a pair of dogs before.
