I'm sorry to say but it sounds like you cannot afford dogs. They will likely be better off somewhere else with someone who has some financial means.

You need to figure out how to rent a room, or even a garage or ADU from someone. It is going to be drastically easier without the dogs. Maybe you can find someone you know who will take the dogs so you can still visit?

You then need to find ANY job. Drive uber for 30 hours a week, study and practice coding/AI skills/resume building for 20 hours a week, etc.

I find it highly unlikely you're going to go from living on the streets to a high paid dev job. Instead, you need to make a realistic three year plan.

You cannot keep your dogs and expect to do this, you tried, it was a noble effort, but you gotta give them up man. It's just too hard to find cheap places to rent. You need a home base to stay healthy enough to sleep, study, and learn the new skills you need.
