                       Part of the issue it that we don't have anyone physically "there", and familiar with the area and it's resources. Someone who could connect with this family and facilitate what CAN be accomplished.

                       I know around here, no-one would be able to do what you suggest, housing a mixed group of animals for an undetermined time would basically put most of their rescue work on hold. They're not set up for long-term fosters of groups of animals, especially for an undetermined time.

                        BUT! If you could connect with those groups near you, they might have contacts in the Charleston area that could do the same thing. Rescues are often networked with other similar organizations, and work in similar ways. Most I work with are "foster based", meaning they take one or two pets, and place them in private homes while working to find permanent placement. What this family needs is a "group home". A place that has no resident animals, but is willing to take on take 6 animals with no idea for how long. I would LOVE to be wrong, so maybe the groups you know can lead the way...

Looks like my most  recent idea is a bust ....  I get the impression from the last posts I see that she is WITH her animals in this motel.....

There really are NO rescue groups in her vicinity that would hold on to her animals until she got better settled??   That is SO sad....  there are quite a few up here that would do it....as well as shelters that will NOT kill them as long as she takes them back in a reasonable amount of time...

You folks are phenomenal in what you are doing for this woman.... I'll contribute what I can....
