My niece received this e-mail and she passed it on to me.

Hi Everyone,
I received this email from a friend who lives up in Titusville, her neighbor just passed away and his black lab needs a home. If you know anyone who would like to take this dog in please let me know.
Thanks,
Chrissy

Hi Chrissy,

Have really enjoyed the photos of your dogs and thought maybe you would be the one to ask a question I have.
We had an elderly neighbor who we grew to know fairly well over the last year or so. Sadly we found him passed away a few days after Christmas. I have been just heart-sick about it. This man had no family, as he was an only child and he never married. At any rate, he had a dog that apparently he had gotten a year or two ago. He had mentioned his dog but we had never seen it or anything as this man would never let anyone in his house, saying his house was a mess. But the dog was kept in the house.
When he died, they (the police) took the dog out of the house and to the pound or wherever. Anyhow, this man's financial investor called me to ask if I knew anyone who would want the dog, as she didn't want to leave it in the pound and she didn't want to put an ad in the newspaper, cause she didn't want just "anyone" to take the dog. I thought I would ask you if you knew of anyone who would want him since you are in the dog world.
I was told he is a good dog, he is a young black lab, about 2 - 3 years old, really healthy and doesn't bark or growl or anything like that. That is all I know really and is all the investor knew. We don't even know the dog's name because the man never told us his dog's name. Apparently the dog had been well cared for. If you know anyone who would love him, please let me know.

Linda, maybe you can cross post this in LC? We have quite a few Pennsylvanians.

Did anyone bring it to Joe's attention? Not sure how far it is from him. http://www.sparro.org/

Linda, can you get me any contact info for the dog? Not sure if I have room, but I can check into it and see if I can help.

Joe, only have the e-mail that my niece sent me. She heard about this dog from someone else. I will PM you my nieces e-mail address and let her know she might hear from you.

Linda,

I am travelling to Pittsburgh this weekend to see my daughter. I could possibly do a transport to Joe if needed. I'd also be willing to keep him until the weekend if we could get him here.

I am working my way down the list of contacts. I have the number for the lady that has the dog, but have not had a chance to call yet today. I think it is a business, so might have to wait until tomorrow.

I appriciate the transport offer. I will be in Grove City Friday, so could shoot over then if needed. I have to see a picture first to make sure it is a lab before I can even consider it. I have been burned too many times by people saying pure bred lab and when it gets here lab is the only thing NOT in its background.

I'll keep you all posted.
