Yeah the rescues are VERY strict- I applied to a couple and they all want to do home visits and want you to put up a 6' fence (Boxer resuce) before adopting a dog. Forget that; I've got a leash and some time on my hands, don't need a fence. Sheesh. And home visits? Lol yeah come on in and see my plants! I got my new friend at a municipal animal control facility where they are just happy to have a nice home for their stray dogs or neglect cases. She's another bulldog.
Have you looked at petfinder yet?
Montgomery County Animal Services
Don't know how close this is to you, but this county animal shelter is LOADED with weener dogs! Including puppies!
