I would make arrangements to drop him off later. Spend time with him and say goodbye only one time. That is simply my opinion. Hopefully, all will be well.
How old is he? I don't know the answer to your question, I'm sorry. But I work from home and maybe I could foster until he finds a new home so he doesn't have to be in the shelter.
I don't know, he's a rescue. But he's so sweet as long as he's not getting punished. That's when he gets a panic attack and begins to be aggressive. But that's not his fault. I really appreciate you opening your home for him
