Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

Unless you personally arrange him a new home, he isn't going to find one. Old dogs are hard to adopt out, so you'll most likely end up putting him in a stressful shelter while he waits to be euthanized. If you absolutely cannot care for him, do him a favor and just euthanize him. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you need to hear it
Sometimes harsh advice is needed. Thank you
If you have the resources, you can check out Lap of Love and see if they serve your area. They come to where you live so your friend can have a peaceful euthanasia with your company. I favored this option because it allowed my other dog to smell my boys body before it was taken to the crematorium. She tends to be dense, but she could immediately tell he was gone. I really think this helped her grieving process compared to him not being around suddenly.
Euthanasia is the hardest, most loving thing we can do for a companion who is nearing their end.
