Sparrow:
Sorry to hear of such a miserable situation. No one's fault. Only thing I can think is also, maybe someone that does Lab rescue or foster dog program online. I hope a good solution comes about. Best Regards ' Frank

soryy to heat about your daughters allergies and the dog situation
my oldest sone is alergic to just about everything too
we had cats while our sons were growing up,which he is very allergic too
we installed a new furnace with a top of the line air filtration system,with hepa filters u.v. lights etc
this helped immesly in the house for him,even with the 2 cats.it wasnt the cheapest method for helping his allergies
but he didnt want us to give up the family pets,and we needed a new furnace anyhow.but it did help
i aint much of a dog person,but if i lived cloer i would take him just to keep him from being put down
i hate that they have to do that.
i would definatly check into a "LAB RESCUE" in your area.most rescues pretty much work with one breed or so(atleast from my research)
but they do take mixes in the breed that they deal with.
once again sorry to hear,but things will work out i'm sure ;)
Parnell:
Ugh. Heartbreaking. I get very attached to the dogs. I truly feel for you all.
That's such a tough call. We have a female shar-pei that wouldn't survive without us. Way to attached. I don't know what I would do. I truly hope a decent alternative comes up for you all.

We've called all of the adoption groups in our area, lab rescue won't take him because he can't pass their tests, the other groups have put him on a list but we haven't gotten a call back (we've called them all back every week) for the past 2 months. We have gone through the phone book, looked up about 10 places on the web, posted him on facebook and twitter and put him up on my wife's work billboard and my billboard. I can't think of anything else to do, but we are waiting one more week. Her allergist called yesterday asking if we had found homes for him yet, shes been helping look for a home for him because she knows it's a hard decision and she wants to help.
Sailordad we have bought a hepa filter for the living room and for her room and it's made a difference, but as soon as she gets around the dogs her allergies kick in. Since we keep them outside I think as soon as they come in or she goes out it doesn't help with the filters. We had hoped that the filters would minimize the problem to where it would be bearable for her, but so far it hasn't and we've given that the past month. I wish we had more time but the woman who is taking the chocolate lab has been waiting for the 2 months; we don't want the kids to know they aren't going to be together and we especially don't want them to know if we have to do the worst.
Thanks for the kind words and sympathy it helps knowing that some of you have dealt with this and Pat I completely empathize with you. It's such a hard thing to imagine him in a shelter and alone, that's the only reason I've considered such a thing is at least he would have us there with him and I think that would be the kindest thing for him to see last.
jonathan creason:
Very sorry to hear about your situation. I really hope you can find a home for your dogs.
We got a labradoodle because of my wife's allergies, and it doesn't bother her at all. I know that not all allergies are the same, though, and neither are dogs.
