Have you tried posting on DogPages? I doubt very much that a home can be found so quickly, but it's worth a try.
I'm sorry, but that's awful. Why today? Please at least tell her to drop it off at a vets, and they can rehome it. NO vet should put a healthy dog to sleep, and your friend deserves a slap for having one in the first place, and then doing this so callously.
Shocking.

I agree it is shocking - but I know that there are vets who will PTS healthy dogs - both in rescue centres and private practice - there are just not enough homes for all these poor little mites :(
I know its horrid, but some people believe it is better for a dog to be PTS than to spend weeks or months in a kennel waiting to be rehomed, only to be PTS after that :(
I have said before, I would prefer any unwanted dog to be humanely PTS than abandoned, left to fend for itself and possibly die a slow painful death from malnutrition/wounds :(
In an ideal world, all dogs would have a loving, caring, foever home - but sadly we are a long way from that :( :(

Believe me, I'm well aware what some vets do, but I'm afraid I still believe it's wrong to have a healthy animal PTS.
Why would someone make that kind of story up for attention.....is she on some kind of medication...if not she should be :ph34r:

The weird and wonderful things that go on on other forums is much better than any soap operas or reality TV show <_< I have read of people who have claimed to have lost relatives, or even been involved themselves, in recent disasters, and it has subsequently been found not to be true :angry:
COL is a breathe of fresh air (and normality) compared with some of the others I have read....... :ph34r: Even so - its worth remembering not to take everything you read at "face value"....... ;)

Lets face it we occasionally get the odd troll on here who just writes stuff to cause mischief or to be misleading <_<
