Yiterp,
Perhaps this is not the best time to broach this, but I have today come across a lady who's fostering a one year old American Staffordshire Terrier that was neglected. She can't keep him because she already has one, but she won't give him up to a shelter especially a kill shelter. Would you like me to explore this one further for you? No matter what, I will be taking a very active part in finding a new home for this guy, but knowing how you would cherish your dog makes me feel someone like you is a better bet.
