APBT Needs RESCUE ... time running out!

I work at a vet's office and a kind man dropped off a pit bull about a
month ago. She was a stray and he thought she had been hit by a car.
Once the vet examined her, it turned out she had demodex so bad that
she had hardly any hair...had sores all over her and was bleeding.
She
even had demodex in her feces. She was also full of worms. We've been
taking care of her and she's very, very sweet...but I know the vet will
run out of patience sooner rather than later.
We've
tried to contact some organizations here in GA, but everyone we've
tried is full (k9 rescue league, PALS, Atlanta Humane Society). I'm
just looking for a rescue to take her, evaluate her further and rehome
her.
Unfortunately,
here in the South there are too many homeless animals and I'm hoping if
she goes somewhere else, she may have a better chance.
She
is about 1 year old, not fixed (unfortunately), is being treated for
demodex, is utd on her shots, has been dewormed. She has a sweet
disposition despite her neglect. She seems to do ok around other dogs.
She does not bark hardly at all - she does whine for attention. And she
loves to give kisses.
We're treating her, but just want her to go to someone who can evaluate her and place her in a forever home.
The vet just told me to get her rescued asap and I'm looking for any options available.
Thank you very much!!
