I couldn't understand the cargo guy very well, but the basic idea is that there is some sort of embargo going on right now and if we want to ship him it'll be well over a thousand dollars

Time to redouble efforts to find him a home here
I'd check with the military. If they know your military family it might help. Friends came back from being stationed in Germany. They brought back a pet (been within last 6 months) it didnt cost any $1000. Maybe the cargo guy got little confused. I'd keep checking around and making more phone calls.
