Umm, get your dog neutered?! and start taking care of the babies and get them healthy and up to date with shots, vaccines, and such for the next few months, then hope a loving family will adopt each of them.

What kind of pups? When are they due? Petfinder.com is probably a good option... But I'm not familiar with what you are required to do before selling (shots, vaccines, etc.)

are the puppies born already, or on the way?
generic signature! -
get an abortion hysterectomy for the female and get the male fixed. Go to the ACC and see all the cute little puppies and wonderful dogs on death row, that are put down because people (oops) let their dogs breed by intention or by accident. There are not enough good homes, and even if you find a good home another dog will be put down because that is one less home for a dog who is already alive.
4 million dogs and cats are destroyed every year for no other reason that there simply are too many.
Its kinder to abort than to kill them after they are born. And even if you find them good homes, you are still contributing to pet overpopulation.
Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh, but that is the reality of the situation -
As Tsarina said. Hysterecotomy for the female, castration for the male. Seriously, what were you thinking in allowing two unaltered, opposite sex dogs to socialize.

Tsarina hit the nail on the head

Are you sure the female is pregnant? It is possible for a neutered male to breed a female, so it may be possible that no puppies are due. It should be relatively easy to determine if the male has been neutered - hint: no testicles. Who owns the female? Regardless, you are responsible for the Oops Litter. Spaying while pregnant is not a good idea medically as the increased blood supply makes the process far more damgerous (& expensive). On the other hand, having puppies is not necessarily a simple event either - breech presentation, eclampsia, uterine inertia, etc. Talk to you vet ASAP, if only to make sure that the female is indeed pregnant. Then you can assess your options.

I'm with the Tsarina and Saliz on this one.
....let's eliminate the fetuses while they are still small.
There are too many --not too few-- dogs in the world.
For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
