yes, she will be spayed..in fact, if she doesn't go into labor by thursday (which is two days late) we have to do a section and they will spay her at the same time. Jessica is a champian labrador with an amazing termperment. People have come from all over the country to have her puppies - this her last - she had one successful litter prior to this so there shouldn't have been issues - anyway..yes, i have contacted the shelters and hopefully we can help some poor orphans.
