My mother in law is a small (~80 lbs), frail little old lady in her 80s. Her husband died last year, and she was left with Rocky, his old Pyrenees. She just can't handle the dog, he's too big, over 90 lbs. He wanders off or starts eating something he shouldn't and just ignores her. He throws up in the house (from eating crap), and has to get up at 2 a.m. to pee. Problem is, Rocky is old. He's at least 12, maybe 13 or 14. He has arthritis and walks very slowly, stopping about every 25 yards to rest. He can BARELY make it up the porch steps.
Of course, rescue/adoption groups won't touch a dog like that because it's not "adoptable." Rocky is a very sweet, lazy old fellow that just wants to lay in the living room and take naps. Meanwhile, my MIL is reaching her wit's end. Is it remotely possible to find some kind-hearted person would could give Rocky a place to peacefully live out his final days?
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
