We also have one pet "over limit". We live on a military base so rules are real strict. I went to my landlord (its actually a company) and told them I had found a dog (when actually I had bought another) and was going to keep it until I found it a home. They said that's fine as long as its not permanent. Of course it really is permanent but they don't know that.
You could try saying something like that.. That you either found one and are trying to find it a home or maybe you can say you "dog sit" for a friend during the day or she/he on vacation and your watching their dog??
