Deaf Cattle Dog Needs a Safe Place in GA

UPDATE: RESCUED BY SUGARFOOT FARMS IN KY. CONTACT THEM IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO ADOPT.
My boyfriend and I found this adorable and loving dog in our local Kroger grocery store a little over a week ago. The store manager called Animal Control to have him picked up where we were sure he would be put down in a matter of days. So, we agreed to take him for a few days in hopes of finding his owner. He was wearing a collar, so he once belonged to someone whom we now believe abandoned him. After placing an ad in the newspaper and putting up posters, we haven gotten no response.

He appears to be about six months old and some sort of Shepherd or Collie mix. While looking online for his breed, we discovered that dogs with crystal blue eyes like his are often times deaf. After testing him with certain sounds, we believe that he is, in fact, deaf. This dog is amazingly friendly and sweet, but we're unable to take him in because we don't have the necessary space or resources to care for his needs. We also have a cat and other dogs that seem to distract him.

We are praying that you can help us out by taking him. All of the no-kill shelters and rescues in the metro
Atlanta area are full, so we are at a complete loss at to where to take him since we can no longer keep him at our home and our only option now is to take him to Animal Control.

Thank you for your help.
