Where to rent with 13 dogs?
This is a summarized version of events, but stray I rescued off the street gave birth to 7 puppies, bringing my total to 13. The shelters and foster networks are incredibly overrun, and I want to be responsible and not hand them off to random or possibly cruel strangers. Will I have to leave the state? I know there’s a limit of 4 unless you get a kennel license, so I’m also searching to find a place in which I can apply to obtain one. I’ve had great experience with private landlords in the past, and have found fellow pet lovers that didn’t charge pet rent, or accepted my larger dog (when he was alive) to live in an apartment without hassle. Just hoping there’s some way I can remain in California/SoCal (doesn’t have to be LA) and keep these babies.
Thank you in advance.

This is the time you need to realize you need to own your own home because 13 dogs is a major problem. My advice would be fix the dog, and sell the puppies or adopt them out to a good home. If not again you would be better off buying your own home and having enough yard/space for all of them but 13 is still way to many dogs unless you live on a farm or own acres of land.
I have worked in the banking business and have seen people lose their homes that they rent due to landlords kicking them out with very little warning due to breach of contract or a No pet rule. I would seriously consider buying your first home.
