I agree that the OP is in a very difficult situation and may not be in a position to do much about it.
It's good to have somewhere to vent - but she needs help in formulating a plan.
If Mom is so frustrated with the dog - perhaps she would be on board with placing the little guy with a yorkie rescue. I would suggest breed specific rescue only and not a shelter. OP has already had two people offer so this seems feasible.
I feel sorry for the OP as well - it's a very tough position to be in if she is under the age of 18.
