[quote=Anonymous]Two of my cousins are vets. Maybe the profession makes one very practical but neither of them would have positive feelings about this set up. They are really annoyed when pet owners keep the animals alive when it is clear that euthanasia is the best course. The animals are in a lot of discomfort but continue to "live" for the owner, not the pet's sake. I don't know if these dogs have reached that point, but it doesn't sound like their lives are particularly great at the moment. Animals really do not like living among their messes.

Also, boot camp is very expensive. We did it for two weeks with what was a recently adopted and fairly cranky 6 year old rescue and made some progress, enough to allow us to keep him. He became more bonded over time. But I def would not put that money into older dogs unless the mom has it available.

OP, I really feel for you. My mom had similar challenges. We were fortunate to find her a spot in a memory care unit, which was part of a larger community. She had her moments, but she was able to live there for her last four years. She liked the staff and most of her floor mates. I really have no idea what we would have done if she had been kicked out.

GL to you and your sister![/quote]
