In that case, the first priority would be to get it into water, before it suffered massive organ damage from its own weight. Anything large enough to hold it -- you'd be looking for a swimming pool, or something similar. Best bet in Chicago would be to find a place that still has the larger variety of children's pool, or a portable above-ground swimming pool.
If it's a saltwater dolphin, trying to get the proper saline content and pH balance would be a next step, but the priority is water. Any water.
In the short term, find wet towels and drape one along the dorsal fin (on the dolphin's back), and another over the tail. You'll want to keep as much of the dolphin wet as possible, but those are the key points.

Just tell me where you are. I'll bring the towels.
He couldn't have turned into a species that I didn't have a lifelong affection for? No, of course not.
