My dog is pregnant. What are my options if I can't keep puppies?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 50 lbs

My dog is pregnant, by accident it happened without my knowledge. I absolutely can't have puppies in my apartment building and I don't have anyone who can watch my pregnant dog at all hours of the day to be sure her birth is safe. What are my options? Is there anyway a foster facility would watch her until the puppies are born?

it's going to be difficult to impossible to find a facility that will take her, your best shot would be to find a foster home through facebook. the other option is to have her spayed, that is if the pregnancy is not too advanced, it will of course cause pregnancy terminationn as well.
