You are out of my area, sorry I cant help, but wherever you are, there are people like me.
Please update us with the tale of your new pack member. Us dog people will be straining at the leash to see what canine you go home with.

I bring my dead dogs home, so the others can walk over and sniff, and know their friend no longer inhabits this old piece of broken meat. They understand death - I do this because all of mine have been abandoned. They will come see me when it is my turn - they will accept my death, and know I didnt abandon them, that they are Good Dogs. I still call my old gal in sometimes, at the time of twilight barking, sing her little songs - so she knows where we are and she is still loved.

I was thinking. To give visits to a dogs home another purpose for your daughter, you could suggest you make a cake for the dogs who are waiting for their new homes.
Any shelter will appreciate it as a donation, its the best for training and assessing dogs. I have made them for the rescue one of my dogs came from. Your lab can be test subject - it will enjoy that, being a lab and it being good food.

Liver cake (for dogs)
Blend a pound of liver with half a bulb of garlic and one or two eggs.
Pour this goop into half a pound of flour and stir in.
Pour into a greased and floured cake tin, and whack it in the oven at about 200 for about 20 mins. Test it like you would a fruit cake - slide a knife in and see if it comes out clean or covered in raw gloop.
When cooked (dog says hot bits are best - again - animal test on the lab), cut it and bag it - it will keep for 6 days in the fridge, or you can freeze it down. You can also decorate with primula cheese in a tube, or cook in cake tray, some add peanut butter or a very little marmite.

I thought if she is taking them treats, on its own, a good and honest reason to visit, it might be easier leaving 30 or 40 dogs behind. Hope I am not being an interfering nut job. Call went out last month for a home needed. 5yr old lab working (until dumped) sniffer dog. Hopefully, he will find a very special home that will suit his needs to be active and working. I contacted the local rescue people who volunteer to help search with police for missing people. They dont use dogs, but they knew the people who do, so they kindly passed on the details. Lot of fingers crossed. Cost a fortune to train - and just dumped.
