Wow, that's a big boy.
Sorry, there is NO way I could keep him though, I'm busy enough with my one pit-bull.
They really are great dogs though!
So misunderstood by many people due to the media and false information about the breed.
Goodluck.

Have you medically confirmed that your son is actually allergic to dogs? I have some knowledge of the problem because both my son and mother have allergies. My mother has severe asthma. I used to give them allergy injections which worked well.

just a suggestion...don't give him away free unless it's to someone you know and trust.....unfortunately bad people will take the dog for free and use him as either a bait dog or a fighter.......i have two myself and absolutely love them to death....i'd just hate to see something like that happen....he is a cutie

I wouldnt be allowed but that is the cutest pit bull I've ever seen. BTW they dont have as bad of a reputation as people give them. My neighbor has one and it is the nicest thing, its a 73 year old women and I take it on walks every day, its named sparky. There awesome dogs. BTW I wouldnt let him go for free as someone was saying about people using them as a bait dog or something horrible like that

I suggest contacting a pitbull rescue association; they have extensive screening processes that ensure the dogs they adopt out are going to excellent homes. Most breed associations are very particular about whom they place their rescues with; especially the associations for dogs who've got unfortunate reputations. They might even drive down to wherever you live and pick the dog up for you. Try calling your vet and asking if they know of any reputable organizations.
I wish you the best of luck finding a good home for your puppy, he is beautiful!

I think if there were no option but to find another home, I would check with the vet, post some pics there, etc. The bit pull rescue is probably a good contact source as well. Another good place, is the pet shop. Many petshops, including *****, have animals displayed for adoption, while you may not want to "display" there may be an option for posting photos and a contact number.

That would kill me to have to give away a dog. Unfortunately I don't have a yard and my apartment doesn't allow pets. Best of luck finding a loving home.

AGAIN PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN GIVING ANY DOG AWAY FOR FREE. I LIVE IN S.C. AND THE PEOPLE HERE ARE VERY BAD TO GET DOGS ANY WAY THEY CAN AND USE THEM FOR BAIT. I WORK AT A PET STORE, IN A NOT SO GOOD PART OF TOWN, AND SEE PITS IN EVERYDAY!!!!!!. POSTERS GO UP ABOUT PEOPLE LOSSING THEY DOGS, THEY'RE NOT LOST, THEY'RE STOLEN FOR THE PUPOSE OF BAIT.
PEOPLE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO TRAIN THEM TO PUPOSLY ATTACT PEOPLE. I HAVE HAD TO BRAKE UP FIGHTS IN THE STORE BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK IT GREAT TO SEE THEM FIGHT. PEOPLE CAN BE SOOO, I CAN'T EVEN SAY IT.
BUT PLEASE BE VERY CARFULL.

Allergy injections if were talking about the same thing, here's a problem I think with those. They'll never get totally rid of your allergies, you have to keep getting for a prolonged period of time, also they can trigger an attack. An instance where you would need an epi-pen to keep your throat closing & causing death. I'm a big time allergy sufferer & I actually started getting allergy shots, but got scared when my throat wpuld feel weird afterwards. Could have been in my head, but I just stoped. I just take a Zyrtec everyday & know my limitations.
What about making the dog an outside dog? I have a miniature pinscher & beagle & they are both outside dogs due to my mother's asthma & my allergies.

Please be very careful with whom would be the new owner of your beautifful pit. I am a proud pit bull parent. There are so many cruel people out there that abuse and mistreat this breed. If you go with an animal rescue, please screen them first, check out thier policy on pit bulls. Unfortunately many organizations have a kill policy for pits. Basiclly meaning they find pits unadoptable, or dangerous. Please don't sentence your beloved pit to such cruelety. A good place to find someone who would love to take this guy into a loving home would be check out Pitbulllovers.com There are people who especially take in pit bulls and care for them for as long as it takes to find them a permanent loving home. I am so passionate about this breed and everytime I hear of one needing a home I want to take it in. But as you know doing that alone would be impossible. As much as I would love to say I'll take him, I can't right now. Again please be ever so careful with choosing his new home. He really is a handsome boy! By the way I am just such a proud pit momma I have to include my girl Sasha's 1st birthday pic. And good luck!

A Bait Dog Is Any Breed Of Dog, USUALY STOLEN EVEN Unsuitable Pits That Are Old, Lame, Sick, Injured, That People Will Use To Train Pits To Fight. They Get The Fight Dog In Good Shape, And Place It In A Inclosed Ring And Bring Out The Other Dog. They Hold Them Apart And Get Them Riled Up, Then Let The Dogs Go At It. The Bait Dog Is Then Malled To Death. This Trains The Fight Dog On How To Do It's "job". Yes The Dogs Make Alot Of Money For The Owners. TheY Make A Living Off The Dog Fights. If A Dog Dosn't Do Well It Is Distroyed Any Way, Including Using It As A Bait Dog. Survival Of The Fitest, And Meanest. LIVING IN S.C. I HAVE READ TO MANY HORROR STORIES IN THE PAPER AND ON THE NEWS. AND THIS IS NOT JUST LOCAL, IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL BUISNESS.

i've heard of one dog that lost its fight and the owner jacked up the car, placed the head under a tire and dropped it ...........contrary to beliefs many pits are destroyed because they do not fight and will not fight other dogs......also pits were bred to not be human aggressive even if it was a fighter because they obviously needed to be handled by humans

Just have to put my two cents in as well....I volunteer for our local humane society & it is advised NEVER to give away a dog for "free" (or at least advertise it that way). Many people who are out to harm dogs (whether for bait dogs, satanic rituals, pure cruelty, etc) jump at the chance to get a free dog. A person should always, always charge an adpotion fee for the pup...especially advertise that you are charging this fee. If you have a great dog like this, then the right person will gladly pay a $100 or $200 adoption fee to you. Offering your dog for free is giving him a death sentence.
**Please don't think I'm saying you wouldn't do a super diligent job of screening your pup's new family. I can tell you're a pet lover... But people can lie & do a great job of it. At least if someone is willing to shell out $100 or so to adopt your dog, you can feel a bit more comfortable of their commitment to keeping him. Also, ask for the adopter's vet, & call the vet & explain the situation & make sure they're responsible pet owners. Although the vet won't be able to give you specifics most likely, they can tell you if they bring their pets in regularly for checkups, etc.
