Need a place to send my dog. NO KILL shelters. Any recommendations?

I tried to keep my dog in my apartment under the radar until I got caught up and could afford the pet fee and pet rent. Well, the landlord found out and he has to go.
I can not afford to keep him right now.
On top of that, he has behavior issues. We found him along side the road in a box as a young puppy. The stuff he does seems to match the issues a dog taken from it's mother too soon.
I'm the only one in the house that likes the dog, and I'm the only one the dog likes.
He's a bit aggressive but he wants to be a good dog. We tried a bunch of training stuff we found online but it doesn't work. Likely our fault. I can't afford pro training right now.
The wife and both kids want him gone.
I just want somewhere to take him that will take care of him. I'd even like to try to adopt him back later on.

I need quick help, guys.

As soon as I get back home. He's approximately 1 year old black lab mix. Looks like a smaller lab.

Call them and see if they have room for one more, dogs are sent to the correctional facilities for inmates to train good behavior and basic commands then put up for adoption. Absolutely a no kill shelter Bad thing is they have limited space, call them ASAP

Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Bring all the food, toys ect and what ever you can afford to donate and they will find him a home no matter how long it takes.

I have to be the voice of reason even though you do not want to hear it. There is no such thing as a No Kill shelter. If an animal is not adoptable, it will be put down for health or behavior issues. You said your dog is aggressive and doesn't even like people in your house, so the odds that he will like strangers in a stressful shelter environment is unlikely. They have thousands of dogs do deal with and do not have the time or money to train the dog, just like you didn't.

The other fact that you don't want to hear is that the first dogs to be put down are pit bulls followed by black dogs. Many people view them as less friendly. It is called black dog syndrome. Black Dog Syndrome - Petfinder

At this point, your best odds are trying to find a home for him yourself or finding a rescue. I'm sorry, but he has little to no chance in a shelter.
