Puppy pads is a great idea. Do you think that it would be hard to get him to use them, being that he's 7 and never used them before (that we know of?).

I also told my mom to call a trainer and get some ideas, just thought I would ask PT too as I always get good answers here

Thanks so much for your help!!

It might be at first but be consistent, when he has an accident place the poo on top of the puppy pad and leave it there for him to sniff out. As for pee you could probably place the top of the pad on the mess so it will soak into the pad then clean up the mess with whatever you use to clean it and leave the puppy pad for him, hopefully he'll get used to the idea pretty quick.
