Traveling w/dog & your hospitalization

When my DH had a stroke on a trip in 2007 on Thanksgiving weekend, we did not have the RV with us but did have our two labs with us. He ended up in hospital and I had to find someone to care for the dogs. We were in strange town after dark on holiday weekend. How would you have handled this?

    Or contact a humane society, maybe they will know of a kennel.
    What did you do?




    X2 The local law enforcement agency usually has a finger on who is who in a small town anyway.
