Yeah. You may want to search for a no-kill shelter in your area, or a animal foundation.

Try a friend or family member if possible. I found myself in a similar situation. I had just gotten a new puppy and moved out on my own all at the same time. It was very overwhelming for me and I thought the puppy was the problem, so I sold her and now that I have settled I regret it badly. I wish I had just had someone take care of her for a month or two until I was ready.
If you're 100% sure that you can't take care of the dog anymore, or you feel that its in the dogs best interest, then I'd recommend finding a no-kill shelter or rescue group. There are tons of them everywhere! Just go to Yahoo and type in your city and animal rescue and that should help!

Have you tired friends and family? I know I would take in any animal that my friends needed to give up.
Call your local shelter (look on yahoo yellow pages for listings) call them and see if they are a no kill shelter. Even though, if they are a no-kill shelter they can still put animals down if they get too stressed and go crazy.
Is your dog a certain breed? If so there are plenty of shelters that take in certain breeds and find them good homes pretty quickly! Try family and friends first then give the shelters a chance.

If your dog came from a breeder, they will want the option of taking the dog back. If it is a pure breed but not from a breeder, you can contact the breed rescue group by typing the breed name and rescue into a search engine. (like poodle rescue)
If you got the dog from a shelter, take it back to the shelter, unless it is a kill shelter.
If none of the above apply to you, you can try to find a new home by advertising in the local paper, or if you feel you cannot take the time to do that, just make sure you take the dog to a no kill shelter.

I had a bad experience surrendering my cat to a shelter. My cat had torn up my dogs face and couldn't live at home anymore so I had to do something. Well I called every week to see if he was still adoptable and each week they said he was. (I was trying to find him a home by using local websites like Craigslist Seattle.)
Anyway, I found out 36 days and about 7 phone calls later that they had put him to sleep three days after I brought him there.
Find a no kill shelter, post a picture at local veterinary offices, find a family member or friend.
Good luck!

Advertise in the paper, put signs up--do NOT take it to a shelter unless you can find a no-kill shelter. Unless it is a puppy, there is a good chance that it will not be taken to a good home and will be put down in a shelter.

Aww, you should keep him no matter what, but if you really need to give him away, find a no-kill shelter, or get a some nice people to have him.

I am sorry to hear that. You will have to be very careful in finding one that is a NO KILL SHELTER so your pet has a chance at life and being adopted out. Good luck to you.
