Having to go back into trucking due to financial problems and unable to get a decent local job due to lack of experience. Going to have to break the lease on my house because I can't afford to keep paying the rent and the utilities. I have 2 dogs both about 80lbs that I have had since puppies and I am not really sure what to do with them while I am gone. I don't really have any family to count on and friends can't help. Anyone else had to deal with this, no kill shelters want $50 for each dog and if I take them to the pound they are going to be put down due to their age. I'd like to find someone to take care of them just until I can get back on my feet financially, but I have no idea where to look.
Going to training and what to do with pets?

I would look into boarding them. Check out www.dogvacy.com. You can compare rates and read reviews etc.
Do you already have your CDL? Or are you leaving for the entire training and OTR training period. Most boarding is going to be at least $15-$30 a night. Have you already found a company that will allow multiple large dogs on the truck? I know of a few companies that will allow one, I am unsure of what ones will allow two. -
Yeah I already have my CDL, but I am going to have to be out with a trainer for a few weeks at least. Orientation is going to be at terminal not far from where I am now so I won't have to travel out of town until I am ready to depart with the trainer. The company that I am hired on with only allows pets up to 25lbs I believe. I will look into the website and see if its something I can do. Thanks.

Ask someone at the no-kill shelter if they know of any breeders or rescue groups in the area. Hopefully it's just a temp separation between you and your dogs.

Wonder if they could be cryogenicly frozen and then unthawed when you're ready to take care of them again?
FozzyNOK, Jumbo, tucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
That's cold. Whaaaat?

They will be cold, yes, but isn't that the point?Puppage Thanks this. -
I like hot dogs

Think it's a law now where you can't leave your dog in a hot car to die -
To quote Peanut.... "They're making another left turn!!!!"
