The dogs.... could people in your dog trialing group foster some of the dogs while she gets on her feet? If they can't foster maybe they could provide her with food for the dogs. Her vet would also be a good resource for finding help.
Some areas have agencies with rental assistance. She could check to see if there are any in your area. She can also check the United Way to see what services exist in your area.
Thank you for helping her.

Fostering her dogs might be a good option temporarily. I know I could take one, at least for a while.
