What do I do with my dogs?!?
For spring break my dads taking us to Florida were going to be there for a week. We have two dogs and we have no clue what were going to do with them.
We can't take them with us and my dad dosnt want to spend money or dosnt have the money (because we have Florida to pay for)to get doggy sitters for them and we don't have any relatives who can watch them because their coming to Florida to.
He says he wants to get rid of them because of this problem usually he jokes about getting rid of them but this time he was serious I don't want him to because I love them so much.
And please no hate comments this is already stressing me out just helpful answers please thank you.

And you didn't think of any of this before begging for the dogs why?
Your dad owns the dogs kid. If he wants to be a lazy sod and get rid of them there's nothing you can do about it. You can love them all you want, You are a child and can't own the dogs and legally have no say in what he does with them
If you can't afford to pay for the boarding and its on average 50-60$ a DAY per dog and that's on the cheap side and your father doesn't , then there's nothing you can do

Unfortunately, your dad is the boss and there's not a great deal you can do as the kid. Can you talk with your mother?
Can you make money? If yes, find a good local boarding kennel and figure out what it's going to cost and let your parents know you'll work to pay them back.
Good luck!

I know this is going to be hard to hear, but giving the dogs away is probably in their best interest. Just because you love them doesn't mean you can provide a good home for them and obviously you can't. Owning a pet is more than just having something cute to play with, it also means having to care for them 24/7 regardless of what comes up in life. That includes pet sitting or boarding, if necessary. If your family is not willing to hire pet sitters, or to take the dogs to a boarding facility for the time you'll be gone, or to take them with you, the only humane option for the dogs is to give them up. Someone else will love them just as much.

I find it difficult to believe that ever single friend and relative you have is going to Florida with you. You talk to friends, parents of friends etc.. until you find someone who cares enough to help you out.

I forgot to put in there that my dad dosnt really trust people in the house and we don't have any relatives that live close they all live like three hours away and there's no way he would trust any of his friends
