If your dog is old, YOU put it to sleep. Take your dog to any veterinarian and they will help you. Can you imagine at the end of your life, your children just put you in a concrete room with bars and never come back and make you stay there for months before someone comes to kill you? That is cruel. Don't give your dog to a shelter after it has given you all the love it has to give, all it's life. If you love a dog, you love it for life. If it's the end of it's life, it's your responsibility to be there with it in the end. Don't abandon your dog in the time it needs you most.
You can surrender him at an L.A shelter closest to your home. If you don't live in the city of L.A then you can contact an L.A county shelter instead.
