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. Charlie |

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 |

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.
