[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 559371, member: 14557"] I'm sorry, if I sound harsh, but as an animal lover and dog person I can see only one viable and human option. You have three older dogs (and yes, they get older, sicker and more expensive with vet bills quickly at that age), you can't keep and who you will not find new homes. Dogs have behavioural problems and because of that their life quality is poor. You need to euthanize them. And do it yourself, not take them to some shelter and let them do it after few days or weeks dogs have had a big change and stressor. You need to take them to the vet and euthanize them. Dogs don't think tomorrow or yesterday, they live in the moment. They will not be missing the days, they will not live, what matters to them, is life quality then they are alive. And you will not find a place that can offer a good life quality to dogs you describe. If you think you could keep and retrain one of the dogs (it is much easier when there is no pack, but just one problematic dog), you can do that. But be aware that it will be a lot of work. House training an adult dog is hard. You need to teach them like puppy, but it takes longer and they are not as predictable. You would need to take a dog to the walk several times a day etc. especially when teaching him, but also later. If that is possible, you can keep one of them. If not, you have to put them all down. Taking a puppy means you also take responsibility of all the hard decisions you need to do with dogs. And now you have to shoulder that responsibility. [/QUOTE]
