Hi Sue,

Sorry to hear about your dilemna. Since you'll be back at your mom's, it might be a good idea first to see if she has any preference of which four dogs to keep (since she will be living with them too now).

I believe you mentioned that all of your dogs are rescues. The rescue organizations which placed them with you will most likely take them back. The rescue orgs definitely have an interest in knowing where their rescues get placed.

You can ask someone to temporarily home them (though you mention you don't know anyone to ask except the one friend). My neighbor's took their rottweiler over four years ago from a friend who was in a financial bind supposedly temporarily for up to one year. After one year, the rottie became theirs.

Let us know if the original rescue organizations won't take them back and your location. I am happy to hear you are getting out of an abusive relationship. That's a good step in the right direction for you.
