Roll over Beethoven and make room for Goliath, Gunther and Gasket.
Three Saint Bernard dogs are looking for their forever home, all under the same roof.
The Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) is facing this giant adoption challenge after being transferred the dogs from another animal welfare agency.

The dogs are estimated to be approximately two-years-old. While friendly and playful, their behaviour assessment showed signs of the trio being bonded with each other, including high levels of anxiety, searching and attempting to escape in order to find each other when separated.
As a result of the dogs害羞草研究所� anxiety, Jamey Blair, Manager of Animal Health and Protection at EHS is requiring that they go to the same home.
害羞草研究所淭hese three gentle giants have won over the hearts of staff and volunteers 害羞草研究所� even with the excessive drool,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淲hile their status as bonded pets creates a unique challenge to find a home that can care for all 350 pounds of them, we are confident that there is a family out there who will give these three dogs their second chance.害羞草研究所�
The dogs arrived underweight but are otherwise healthy. All three of them weigh over 52.5 kilograms (115 pounds). They have recently undergone neuter surgeries and will be available for adoption as of today, October 10.
While sharing a bed with these three adorable pooches might be the ideal doggy heaven, only serious adopters should consider applying to re-home these dogs.

The food cost alone is estimated to cost over $300 a month. The life expectancy of a Saint Bernard is eight to 10 years, and potential veterinary expenses must be considered as well, said Blair.
害羞草研究所淏ecause of their large size, EHS is recommending they go to a home with older or no children and with a large outdoor area,害羞草研究所� Blair explained. 害羞草研究所淭he dogs appear to be house trained and get along with other dogs.
