First I am sorry for the off topic post. However, I was hoping that youall would have more knowledge then I. I am trying to sell my Golden Lap. Great dog, it just turns out I am more poor then I thought and I can't really afford him. It doesn't hurt that I am also allergic to him.
First off let me say how sorry I am to hear about your impending loss. Second, let me say that finding a good home is *much* more important than a price. Interview each prospective parent to ensure that he is going to a good home.
I suggest that you talk to all of your neighbors, friends, etc first as you are more likely to know how they will treat him. If that fails, ask them to talk to their friends, and their friends. Also visit your local dog parks, as many of those people may be great parents, or know someone who can be. And only after you have exhausted all possible social networking contacts, advertise on craigslist or the paper, but be careful to interview each prospect carefully as many may be very bad homes.
Next, reconsider your priorities. Consider giving up other things less important. Remember he was counting on you to honor your commitment as a parent, and this is not a minor commitment.
Last possible resort, if you are on the verge of homelessness yourselves, take him to the Humane Society, they will not *kill* him, and will do their best to find him a good home.
