I feel like surrendering is the worst possible option here. Old dogs do not find homes very often. Trust me. I know that world. It will leave everything it knows for a loud, and extremely stressful place.
Call me an asshole or whatever, but you are dooming him. I implore you to reconsider.
Not sure why your getting downvoted. That’s the beauty of the fediverse lol
Like the other poster said, yes. The average life span for your dog is 12-15 years. I had to confront this with late fur baby. She was 12 and suffering. I couldn’t let her go but I knew I had to. I had just lost my dad a few months before.
I know it’s so hard. But don’t leave him. Please.
