I would call and be honest, offer your employer phone number and contact name. Also offer to send them something even $40 would be better than nothing. I wouldn't get a "payday" loan - the interest is like robbery. If they have been good enough to hold the puppy so far, and you make these efforts, most likely they would wait a couple more weeks.
Computer problems with payroll do occur even with major companies and within the banking system itself. My son is a rural postal carrier and his first check in Dec. wasn't issued because of computer error. At first he was told his backpay would be included in the next check.....then they did finally issue a postal money order for a portion of his pay.
Also one time, my husbands direct deposit wasn't credited to our account because of the banks computer glitch.
