the next week. She has contacted several rescue animal groups, and she doesn't want to bring them to an animal shelter where they may face euthanasia... My question is, are there any other options besides putting them in the paper?

I would adopt one but I live in an apartment that doesn't even allow goldfish as pets!

Look into a lab rescue, they might not be too local, depending on where you live, but a rescue will most likely travel to rescue the pups if she cannot place them. Newspapers are tough too, because you never know if the person taking them is sincere or working for a lab where they need to do animal testing...find a rescue or ask the shelters if they are no kill.

The key to having lots of toys is to not leave them laying around (same for rawhides and bones). Make the chew toys into a type of treat. So let them play with them for a while, but then take the toy away and put it away. When you leave toys out all the time, the animal can become disinterested. By only giving them to the animal occasionally, the dog feels as if it has a whole new toy each time. Also, you should know, that labs are chewers. Even with the technique above, we had instances of items being chewed up. I'd come back to find half a sock on the floor but would never find the other half. I can only assume she digested the other half! Make sure you pick everything up so the animal cannot get to it. Yes, you will have to be responsible for your items. No offense, but it's not all the dogs fault if you know they are chewers. I had to make sure I never left socks or shoes outside of a closet as she would eat them! You may also want to crate train them so they won't be left to wander around at night. You should get rawhide or bully sticks. Bully sticks are more humane as they are digestible. Play and walk them to diffuse some energy and don't get too bored. And last, you definitely want to take them to some sort of training and learn how to train them yourself. I'm not sure which of the 2 breeds will be dominant when they get out of their puppy mode (which will be in about 2-3 years), but for your sake I hope it is the Lab. Labs loved to be trained while Husky's like to be trained on their terms only. Good luck!

Contact the rescues again and offer to foster through their vetting and bring them to adoptions till they get homes.
A week isn't a long time. You need more time to do this. Thats all there is to it. They will not all go in the paper in the week either so do whats best and try to get the rescue to work with you for the pups!!
If you called and said (or your friend) and said they gotta to than no they probably could not help you. But they will help if you meet them half way. There is a home for a homeless pet they just need somewhere to go till that home is found. Help foster and get them ready for adoptions.
SPAY AND NEUTER NOW!!!

Contact lab rescue in your area, find the animal rescue group that sets up shop in your local petco or petsmart, you can also put flyers up at Petco, vets office, etc...short of that, she can put them in the paper, but should screen homes very carefully.

Pet stores often have adoption days. She could sign up to take the pups there on one of those days. Usually there on a saturdays.

Doesn't sound like she rescued them to me - to ME that means giving an animal it's forever home. Anything else is simply 'handling goods' - and more homes means more unsettling experiences.
Good luck though =)
