She's said to be a full blooded pit.But I believe she's a mix.She's the sweetest girl ever! When they first got her I was skeptical but next day I came home and she was all over jumping and licking me lol.She's 9-10 months old and I don't want her in the wrong hands. 4951

There are some pit rescues you could try. It's going to be hard- rescues and shelters are really full right now. Montgomery County Animal Shelter sent out a plea yesterday for fosters and adopters. They took in 150 dogs yesterday alone. You may have luck with a rescue if you ( or whoever has the dog) is willing to foster- a commitment of about 2-6 months maybe longer depending on the dog 4951

Don't put the dog on Craigslist!  Especially that breed, even a mix.  Too many disgusting people that will provide you with "legit" information then use the dog as fight bait or train it to fight.    Agree with @lisapisabobisa 4951

Nothing against you boutique, but when are people going to realize that having/getting a pet is a huge commitment? It's an impulse grab for some people and you can't just throw them away when they become inconvenient.
 
My pets are like my family and I would never rehome one. We're in it for the long haul or I would never have gotten them to begin with. No different than my kids, but sadly people ditch their kids too. 4951

@Marhopper3: I COMPLETELY agree with you on this. I was afraid that's what was going to end up happening with his pet, but I gave benefit of the doubt. As much as I'd love to keep her, I already have one of my own that's a basket case LOL.  My roommate fell upon some hard times and some issues and just can't give her what she deserves.She's a beautiful great dog.

@Marhopper3:  That's a good point. I'm going to copy and share this.  The Hubs and The Boy are really wanting to get a small dog.  I'm trying to strongly discourage the idea since we are gone most of the day, and weekends are extremely busy.  I just think it's cruel to get a dog, just because it would be cute to have around in the evenings, then leave it alone the rest of the time.  I'm not a fan of crating or closing a dog up during the day (no judgment, just personal preference).  The Hubs is also EXTREMELY particular about "his stuff" and I can guarantee that a dog will make chew toys out of things like leather furniture, shoes, and electronics.  If one of us worked from home it would be a different story, but right now, it's just not a good match at this time.

You have to be super careful finding a home for a pit or pit mix...  You do NOT want her to end up as a bait dog... People will lie to your face about taking her for a pet only to use it to bait fight dogs.. Rescue is your best bet...   Not to preach but when you take the responsibility to own a dog dang it you need to take it seriously even more so with this breed... Sorry I know it's not you but a friend you are helping....  4951

@GoldenGirl: Exactly. That's why I tried asking friends and adding a rehoming fee to try and deter those that mean her harm.I'm trying to contact rescues but many won't take owner surrender.  I'm willing to foster her though until she can find a home. She just deserves so much more than what she's getting now. Oh you're preaching to the choir! LOL I told him this. That's why I said i'm willing to hold on to her.Someone suggested to him to just drop her somewhere.ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Boutique, I think your roommate needs rehoming, I couldn't be friends with anyone who even thought of dumping a dog. Thank goodness you're there to protect the poor pup. Ugh 4951
