How do people with multiable dogs decide who they keep and who they place if the time comes that there's no other options?
I have 8 dogs down from 10. I have placed two of my rescue/foster dogs. The other 8 I have had for anywhere from 9yrs. to 3 months.
My 4 oldest are rescues and were not able to be placed for many reasons.
I also have 4 corgis all rescues. My 1st is Boomer he is almost 3yrs. old and I have had him since I rescued him at 12 weeks. I have his little brother Moose same mom differnt dad he's 1 and 1/2 and I had him since 10 weeks old, he has had lots of ortho problems and has had a number of surgerie to correct the issues but still has very bad front legs. I also have there mom she 8yrs. old and I had her 6 months. She has a number of issues as well but mostly ortho no temperment issues. She's a lover although shy with men. My newest rescue corgi is Jake and he is about 1 and 1/2 and I think he's been here almost 3 months. He is a wonderful little guy but stubburn and was neglected and abused before he came and is coming out of his shell and becoming a wonderful loving young man.
I am in a place that I can not keep everyone with me. I have fallen on very hard times and am lossing my home/farm. My moms local dog ordinences say 3 dogs. I have to move back in with her. I have talked her into letting me have 4 dogs. She isn't happy about this but too bad. I have no other family or friends to help me out(I have a friend who offered to take one or two dogs but as much as I love him as a friend I wouldn't let him watch a goldfish). All my dogs are house dogs. I could not afford to kennel/board them and I am not sure long term fostering (if I could find it) in another home would be fair. I have no set time I could take them back. I can't ask someone to watch them for ?? amount of time can I?
I have to decide who to let go and who to keep. I would rather cut off my arm. I love all my dogs and all hold a special place in my heart for many reasons even the newest Jake. I have stayed in a abusive relastionship for years to keep my dogs together and with me. But I can't stay any longer.
How do people decide???
