Wow you are in a tough spot. Thanks for saving this baby. I have a special place in my for blackies. We couldn't be further apart or I'd try to give you a hand I think if you could hold on to him just past Halloween with your friend taking him as a back up (if even temp. while you keep looking) it might give you some time at least. Aside from that,the only thing I can suggest is naming him Jellybean and see if it works
