I don't know if you're from Canada or not, but if you are, and your father is a war vetran, you can get free housekeeping service and yard service from the gov't. That would help you and your siblings regarding the state of the house and allow your parents to keep their dog. Maybe they have something similar in the US.
Do you or your siblings live close to your parents. Couldn't one of you or your children help out and walk the dog once a day?
Maybe get a dog walking service or a neighborhood kid to come walk the dog for them.
Sure it's easier for you if the dog isn't around, but that's not what looking after aging parents is about. I would look into all the available services to help with the upkeep of the house and looking after the dog. Your parents cared for you and your pets as children, your turn now.
