Before you consider putting Dear Ole' Man Orin to sleep...

Load him up in the car and take a drive out in the Country and Visit some FARMS.

Pick some nice ones - maybe with SkinKids out front... Drive in and introduce yourself and Orin.
Explain your problem and ask them for one of two favors ~
* A. Ask if they'll Adopt Orin and give him a Good Home -or-
* B. Allow him to stay/live in a barn for a few days
... Just long enough for you to make permanent arrangements for him.

You should probably offer to supply his food if it will only be a temporary stay.

Might take several Farm Visits to find a willing one ~
And Orin just might NOT like *ruffin it* in a drafty ole Barn...

But it would sure beat the alternative ~
An early trip to the Rainbow Bridge .

Desperate Times call for Desperate Measures...
Door-to-Door may not be your cup of tea - but it might save your FurKid...
