PHX ARIZON PLEASE Rescue This ADV POSITIVE Sandfire girl!!

Hello. I am new to the forums and I have a problem. Was hoping someone can help. I had 2 dragons, Jesse a sandfire male and Alice a crimson blood. Both of them are super healthy almost a year old. They have become part of our family. Only issue was about 6 months ago, Alice got parasites and I took her to the vet. Both were treated and life was once again good. A few weeks ago I was in a local pet shop and saw a sandfire female who looked sick. The owner told me she was sick and she didn't know what was wrong. She offered her to me for free and said she was going to put her down if I didn't take her. In a rush, without thinking, I took her. I put a wooden partition to separate the tank but in the meantime, my male was exposed to her while I was getting the tank ready he jumped on her and even bit her head trying to mount her. We got them separated and within 48 hours I had a new tank and they have been totally separate since. I did 5 days of antibiotics thinking maybe it was just parasites, but with just miminal improvement I went to the vet. We did tests and injectable calcium for days and I have been hand feeding for 10 days. today I found out she has adenovirus. She has gained 30 gms since I have been hand feeding her. She is very quiet, doesn't move around much. I cried all afternoon as did my kids. I have to give her up though because with the kids I just know that eventually my other two will get it. I couldn't bear it. Plus, I know they might already have it, but we are going to wait a few months to have them tested as I have already spent money I don't even have to get Daisy treated. She is beautiful. I can't bear to have her put down. I just can't keep her. I was trying to save her by taking her in and foolishly may have hurt Jesse and Alice. Any ideas on what to do? Any idea who would want to take in a ADV positive beardie? Thanks Kathleen
