I have been in that situation. Although it was my two cats and not dogs, I became homeless with three of my four kids. (Thanks to my ex who decided he was kicking us out to move his new GF in.) I had to quit my job because he watched the kids for me to work nightshift and I couldn't finishing nursing school because clinicals started way before school did. It came to a point that I had to choose to try to keep the cats in a car or let them go and hope someone took them in. I put them out in a middle class neighborhood with tears falling down my face, but they had a better chance their than in a pound.

Don't forget-there are many no kill shelters around. And when it comes right down to it, it would be better to be painlessly PTS in a shelter, than to starve to death, be attacked by another animal, poisoned or hit by a car.

That is so sad! you can see the bad times are hitting around my area too, and with gas prices going sky high it's just going to get worse.
I hope i never have to make that choice of giving up my dogs i just couldn't do it.. i would starve first !
