Gracie(black)/Hazel(rednose)/Charlie(blondish) urgently needs a foster home

Why is fostering needed?

I have to move out of my place by June 1st, I plan on living out of my vehicle and working to save money for the next 3 months and then getting a place where I can have my pets again. I’ve had my pets for a very long time and just need fostering for them to get back on my feet and make sure this never happens again.

How long is fostering needed for?

A few months

Other notes

All 3 dogs are very well potty trained and NOT destructive.
All 3 dogs were spayed/neutered & Hazel & Charlie are microchipped. All 3 dogs had 3 year rabies vaccinations and were dewormed in the beginning of 2022.
I got Gracie as a puppy, she’s now 10 y/o. Hazel is 5 y/o and is Gracie’s daughter. Charlie is 2 y/o and fathered a litter of pups with Hazel.

All 3 love to cuddle and think they’re lap dogs despite each being over 50 lbs. They can get feisty over blankets and really like to be under blankets with you. Squeak toys generally don’t last more than 5 minutes, Gracie will demolish tennis balls within 5 minutes. They really enjoy tug of war and Charlie likes to fetch way more than Gracie or Hazel do. Charlie is a digger unfortunately and he loves to play in the mud as well. Gracie loves to lay in the sun on nice days and if it’s raining she will hold her pee and not go outside. Charlie is afraid of loud noises and hides during storms. He startles very easily.

They generally get along with each other but not other dogs. Charlie will attack male dogs.
They can be overwhelming as they are all large dogs and there’s 3 of them. “Pack mentality” seems to take them over when other dogs or animals are around or new people. All 3 will jump up on people and their claws hurt even though they don’t mean to. All 3 are protective. Gracie takes about an hour to warm up to new people and doesn’t like hats, glasses or uniforms.
I’ve had all of them basically their entire lives and I would like to be able to visit them during fostering and I can help with food, etc. They really are all very good dogs, just each has their own “quirks”. They are like my kids and my goal is to resolve my situation before November 2023 and never be in this situation again.
