There are 7 pure-bred female Samoyeds who need a "forever home" because their owner/breeder, Cathy Pendleton, is losing her battle with breast cancer. She can no longer care for her dogs and has been moved to Hospice after being in the hospital for a week.
I'm giving this a wider distribution than usual, so some of you may receive it more than once. Even though you may not be on a "rescue" group email, I'm including you in the hopes that you can forward on to the widest distribution so that these girls all have a chance to find the perfect new home. The dogs are in the Atlanta, GA, area, but they will allow them to be adopted out of state.
All the owner/breeder wants is for all of these girls to get good homes. Currently, they are not wanting to place any of the dogs in foster care because they are trying to move the dogs only once. My understanding is that the older animals have been spayed. Because she is a breeder, the younger dogs are not spayed; however the new family would need to have the dog spayed if she is less than seven years. (The dogs range in age from 1.5 years to more senior dogs.)
One look at their picture (below) shows how extraordinarily beautiful these dogs are. (I count 8 in the picture, but perhaps one has been placed already.) All are healthy and well cared for, up to date on shots, heartworm, flea treatment, etc. The new "forever" home will need to have a fenced yard with sufficient space for an active dog. The folks who are placing the Samoyeds for the owner may do a home visit either before, after, or both to ensure that the dog and their new family are a good fit.
If you think you might be interested after reading Velvet's email (below), her contact info is v.a.simmons@att.net.
Thanks for giving this the widest distribution possible. Following is the email from the lady who is managing the adoption of these 7 lovely ladies.

Sad to know the owner isn't doing well. I hope she finds a good home for them.
From the looks of this picture, they are all trained or well behaved. It's very hard to get a good pic with so many furry subjects in it. They're beautiful.
Hi Joe!
Just to let you know I emailed Mrs. Simmons and received an auto response back asking for anyone who has posted this on their websites/bolgs to please remove now because they have more than enought leads to find these dogs good homes! Just thought you should know.
Thanks!
We currently have 2 female Samoyeds and they are the best dogs. They have a fantastic temperment. Other than the hair, I can't complain. I wish we could take another.
Cathy Pendleton of SnowSong Samoyeds took great pains to assure that her
beautiful Samoyeds would be taken excellent care of after she passed away.
Spaying the females to prevent breeding was one of her concerns, as well as
finding the perfect home for her dogs by matching up the dog with the right
family. The dogs are all in great hands, who love them, and they will all
live their lives, just as Cathy would have wanted.Thank you to everyone who
offered help,condolences,and their own personal experiences about their own
wonderful dogs.

Please help stop this message from being passed along! Please let anyone who sends a copy to you know these dogs do not, and never did, need help.
I have a samoyed and she is a wonderful dog. I might look into getting one of these dogs.
