Then you obviously haven't called enough places, because it IS possible. How dare you give up on your dog.

If you aren't going to take him with you, euthanize him. Better he die in the arms of the owner he's known his entire life, than be shuffled around and have an uncertain future because you couldn't plan ahead properly.

I wish you luck. And wish I could help....

I can't believe some of the attitudes and judgements posted on here.
Sometimes things occur in life where hard decisions that other people may not agree with have to be made. Sometimes, despite our best intentions...we have to rehome a pet.

And while I too am sick of seeing folks talk about what THEY would do in a certain situation, they are not the OP and everyone is different regarding what they can and cannot do.

We don't know how much actual notice the OP had that they would have to move, nor do we know ANY of the circumstances surrounding the move. We know nothing of the OP's support structure or financial situation.

If she knew there may be a move months ago, and simply procrastinated on dealing with the dog...than yeah, I can see the judgmental attitudes being on target. But we do not know this is the case. If she JUST found she would have to move with very little notice...it's not really her fault that she doesn't have more time.

We do not know the whole story. Jumping to conclusions, however typical and likely they may be, isn't helping anybody.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones... OP if you can't find the dog a home YOU feel comfortable leaving him in before you move than put the dog down. Just a thought does the apartment weigh the dog coming in or ask for weight verification? or even to see the dog? I would take my dog and just say it's 40lbs lol... As long as they are not saying no pitbulls allowed weight shouldn't be hard to get around just a thought....

Put the dog down. Consider things like this happening before you make the decision to get another dog.

Meh, look through some of her posts. Just a year ago she had 5 dogs...now it's down to one and she doesn't really seem to care what happens to him. Look how many of her threads were locked. Look how many times she was interested in getting this dog or that dog when clearly she isn't in a proper situation to provide.

Controversal irresponsible owner.

NC_Pitbullmommy, here's a small recap of SOME of the screwed up things this member has done.

Quote from JoeBingo, in the OP's thread called "Puppies!"
This thread was started out of pride and joy. The thread title with an exclamation point along with the "brag" narrative of the OP is an obvious indication.


Originally Posted by PitMomma24
So as it turned out, Gator broke his collar (and he had a nice $30 buckle collar, not a snap on) and then chewed through Bambi's dog pen and bred to her. She had three puppies last week (first litter), one caught pneumonia and didn't make it past the second night, but the other two are healthy as can be.So now I have two RE/OFRN & Redboy puppies, cute as a button; it wasn't in my plans to breed her anytime soon but I couldnt ever bop'em upside the head like some people would do.Will post pictures soon!



The OP stated when joining in May 2011, that Gator was 6 months old. Bambi was entered in the July 2011 puppy thread as being 8 weeks old. These are puppies having puppies. At best, Gator is a young dog now at 13 months and surely this must have been Bambi's first heat at about 7 months of age.

These are not proven hog dogs. There is no indication that the resulting pups will be suitable as working dogs. Maybe Gator has been on one or two hunts and perhaps was impressive but Bambi hasn't, nor is she from dogs who have as far as I can tell from previous posts.

On May 30 2011, the OP posted a thread entitled "Escape Artists" http://www.pitbull-chat.com/showthre...Escape-Artists . The OP was given excellent advise on how to contain her dogs and in the thread, she states that the dogs are on chain spots. In subsequent posts in other threads she again states that the dogs are on chain spots (behind pine trees in a back field). She now states they were in pens.

There are a dozen or so pictures of her dogs. In not one picture is there a collar depicted as she describes in the OP. None of the collars in her pictures are suitable for chain spots. One is a thin decorative leather collar (might have cost $30) and the other is a (plastic) snap collar, shown below.





What I as well as others find reprehensible and do not condone is the indiscriminate breeding of "pit bulls", when there are countless homeless and unwanted pit bulls being put to death daily in America's shelters. A fact perhaps not intimately understood by the OP.

Maybe this was an "accident" in the eyes of some, but it could have been medically made right had the OP chosen to do so. It is my hope these "so cute as a button puppies" (ever seen any that weren't ??) ... as they find homes, do not further contribute to the pet overpopulation experienced with "pit bulls" or perpetuate the irresponsibility already shown by the OP.

Karma is a funny thing. Because no one is perfect, what goes around comes around, and karma kicks us ALL in the butt at the end of the day. Yet, we must therefore continue and strive to make responsible and good decisions. In this, the OP has in my opinion ... failed and now must attempt to make the best of a bad situation in which she finds herself in "damage control mode". To do nothing but hope for the best while extolling the virtues of mistakes and offering excuses as valid reasons ... or fail to learn from an irresponsible incident (not accident) is also a failure to take ownership of their own karma and culpability ... or something like that

Default In a bind
My fiance, daughter, and I are moving to Wyoming in about two weeks from Alabama. Every apartment we've checked out has a weight limit on dogs (only two apts accept pets): max of 40lbs at one, and max of 25lbs at another. Gator is about 70lbs if not more now, I can't find anywhere that allows a dog of his size; including rental homes, not only are they expensive, but most of them don't allow big dogs.
I bottle fed Gator from 3 weeks when his mom stopped nursing her litter, and it breaks my heart having to rehome him, but I have to. I've been looking for a good home, but it's hard; everyone around this area fights their dogs. I had a guy ask me how much I wanted for him, but he fought his dogs or just used them strictly to breed with. I want Gator to go to a home with children (he's so good with kids) where he can have a good life, and be a companion pet, or even to someone who works with their dogs, because he'd be great at agility, or hunting, or weight pulling. He's super atheltic and I don't want some ignorant idiot to try and fight him, because he'd get killed.

I've almost exhausted my search for a good home for him. I've posted on multiple facebook for sale pages around my area (not craigslist) that he was up for sale, but to an approved home only, and only if they agreed to keep me updated on how hes doing from time to time.

If anyone is willing to adopt him, I know everyone here takes more than good care of their dogs, Im willing to meet yall up somewhere on my way to Wyoming to find him a home. I just want to have some pic updates on him, please.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was strictly for rescue centers or not.

Like I said, I've been trying to find him a home since I found out - which wasn't too long ago as it is - being originally from Florida, I don't know much people around here and those that own bulldogs fight them. So far people I've had people ask about him who fight dogs or just back yard breeders, and one lady who's husband hates bulldogs. I can't help the situation I'm in, I can say that I can help what home he goes to and if I refuse to give him to the many dog fighters and ill owners around this area well then the reason is obvious.

Seeing as he's not a puppy, and considering your allotted time frame, put him down. Two weeks is not nearly enough time to find a dog a decent home unless a good friend or trustworthy relative takes him

I'm def going to look into any bully rescue centers that are on our way up to Wyoming, and see if I can take him to one of them. I woul rather euthanize him than have him end up with all these backyard breeders or dog fighters.
My sister in law is the only one go actually takes care of her dogs but she has a big bully that is highly dog aggressive and would jump on Gator if he was in the same yard.

Call mike at OrlandoBullyRescue (.com) and do it soon. The sooner you call, he may at least have a foster home ready for you to bring him down.

And no.. we here in FL don't "fight" dogs at rampant. I'm sure it happens.. but more people adore their dogs...
