Lesli, I am in NC, so not far from you either. We just lost a dog Buffy, so we are one dog short if you can call it that still having three. I doubt my hubby would let me bring in a pregnant girl. I am already trying to make him let me keep the 5 cats I foster right now. But since we are quite close, I will do what I can, I will post around and talk to people. I am working in rescue, but unfortunately both cat and dog rescues are strained to max this time of year, that is the reason I am keeping the mama cat and the 4 kittens I found here at my house, no rescue group has any foster space. And the shelter well that is out of the question, a lot of them are like you describe, three or maybe five days and then into the gas chamber.
I will hear around and hopefully come up with some kind of help
