Thanks for your replies. Yes, probably have left it too late. My ILs have always looked after them in the past and its been no problem. But now they have 2 dogs of their own, live in a small home in a retirement village and have a neighbour who torments the dogs and then complains when they bark. It just seems easier to not bother them with our yappers.

Anyway could always see if there are vacancies and if not we do have somewhere for them to go.
