I think you should search out some rescue places...contact Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah, call the local humane society, contact a television program with a pet friendly attitude. One of our local TV stations does a Monday adopt-a-pet thingy each week.

Is Banfield the pet clinic/food store in your area? Contact them.
Ask these people for help....that you are in over your head, tell them what you have done, get some local exposure. THAT will be your best shot.

Good luck, and bless you for stepping forward.
