In our park in the winter, there are many people who would take in a doggie temporarily. We are all dog lovers.
This past winter we had a single man, 63 years old, who died suddenly one night. Some friends found him the next morning and his little Yorkie was just barking up a storm. They took Katie out of the RV and I held her for quite some time while the EMT's were there. The one EMT asked me what would happen to Katie as she was a dog lover and was concerned about her. I said I didn't know. But she needn't worry as there were many people in the park who would take her in. As it was, he didn't have family that could take her, but the summer before he had to be hospitalized and there was a couple who took her in while he was gone. They had told him they would take her if he every needed someone. When his friend came to get his car and belongings, he and his wife took Katie and she was reunited with the couple who loved her dearly.
Another time my DH was taken to the ER once from a campground in Tucson. We had Neal, our handicapped Scottie. I made arrangements with a neighbor to let him out if I wasn't home by a certain time. I left a key hidden outside.
