I have 2 dogs that are about 15 years old, there blind and deaf and not in
good health. I can't afford to go the vet to have them put to sleep to end
their suffering what can I do?

Telephone (or email) your local animal shelter (humane society, SPCA,
etc.) and tell them what you have written here. There will be a procedure
where you sign a paper surrendering the dogs to them. Most animal
shelters are on a limited budget so, afterward, put aside the money you
would have spent on dog food for a few weeks and donate it to the shelter.

I know it's difficult but you will be doing the right thing for the dogs.

Shoot them in the back of the head, at the base of the skull, with a
large caliber pistol, .38 or better. Give each one a treat like a
bowl of milk, and shoot him while they is drinking it.

Obviously, don't let the second dog see the first one get shot.

Ask a friend to do it if you can't do it yourself. It's tough duty,
but a well-placed bullet is as easy a death as a shot of blue juice.

I think the advise to contact local animal shelters/SPCA/Animal control
is the best advice.

If your animals need to be put to sleep I would definitly have this
done by a *trained*, *professional* utilizing the most painless/humane
methods designed specifically for the pet. (pets weight, pet's
behavior, age, specific needs)

There are humane injections that can put your animal to sleep and
often times there can be a sedative given to the pet just before the
injection so as make sure pet is calm and not stressed. This often
helps to ease owners anxiety as well knowing that their beloved pet is
not suffering or enduring stress. Hopefully your local shelter will
help you, especially if you explain your financial problems to the
shelter workers, most likely they will help you do this.

Please do not shoot your animal or have someone else do this. Doing
this, I fear, will leave you with sorrow and regrets. Plus, shooting
has risks, there are laws against shooting pets, discharging weapons in
certain places etc. etc. Please seek your local animal shelter for
professional, humane treatment of your animals.

I am sorry that you are enduring the unfortunate circumstances and hope
that all of this works out best for you and the animals. I will keep
you and the animals in my prayers. J

No offense why in the world would you come to a CAT group to ask about dogs
Try a dog group

thank you to those who had a heart and replied with compasion. I will contact
the humane society and see what can be done. But I'm not heartless enough to
shoot them in the head unlike some.

I live in a remote place. I have had to euth animals without drugs.
I don't like it, but I do it if it's a critical situation and it will
take a long time to get to a vet. I'm not such a deadbeat I have to
ask for charity to handle my problems. But, if you can get a shelter
to euth your dogs for free, great. Next time around, consider getting
a pet you can afford.

they are too ashamed to goto the dog lovers group
they figure cat lovers would say, take the dogs up into the woods and
shoot them right between the ears

i'ts not like the owner woke up and this thing has happened, they've
had plenty of warning, plenty of time to save up 45.00 or whatever the
fee per animal.
Call the pound tellem come get this stray dog. drive the other to
another county, turn them in to the pound. if the poster is honest and
the dogs are old blind and suffering, the pound will painlessly end the
suffering at the expense of the tax-payer.

i didn't realize after i posted that it was a cat group and nor did I know
that they was people here that only careed about onr type of animal. As a
matter of fact I have 2 well cared for cats, the dogs were my parents so I
thought someone could help me with the question that I had. But don't worry
the next time I have a question I won't ask it here.
