Im almost ready to give up on my job search! Which is why I am asking this next question...
How many times is acceptable to apply for a job? Ive heard of people applying multiple times for one job and finally getting that job.
I need to work! Bills need to be paid! Gotta eat! I have travel plans that need to be paid for!

Please don't give up. Think of the struggle as the price of admission; I know that sounds perverse. Emphasize your talents. Provide anecdotes about how you supported vets, pets, owners, other staff in prior situations: Why employer should pick you out of all other applicants. Tell why you alone resolved that situation. Hoping that helps.
