Question

Answer 1

Awww Shes Beautiful. I Would Say Maybe 80.00-100.00 Because Thats The Price They Usually Charge At A Shelter When You Adopt A Dog. She's Gorgeous. You Should Have No Trouble Finding Her A New home!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

I have successfully placed dogs "free to a good home". BUT, the people had to jump through a lot of hoops to make sure it was the right place. I would require the people to come to my home to meet the dog, we'd have an informal visit/chat....I'd ask a LOT of questions, and if they seemed like a good fit, I'd make them sign a contract that required them to return the dog if it didn't work out, and to notify me in the event of the dog's death, a lot of mumbo jumbo regarding the agreed upon purchase price that would kick in if the dog "disappeared".... then, I'd do a home visit, check out where the dog would live, fenced in yard required, etc. If I liked the look of things, then I would deliver the dog to them for an agreed upon "trial period". During that time I visited periodically to see how things were going. I did turn down a lot of people too. I made no bones about it, things were gonna be done my way or not at all. It worked well for me.

Regardless of how much you ask you likely don't have the ability to properly assess a new home for her. You have spayed her, right? So people won't be exploiting her for puppies... You need to contact area Pit Bull rescue and see if you can get them to help you find a good home - they will either want you to turn her in to them for evaluation or have someone evaluate her and they do screen new homes -- you won't make any money off of her, and you should actually give rescue some money for their time and effort and to help with the millions of unwanted, caste off PBs, but they will be better at finding a good, suitable home for her... that is the only way you have of knowing she ended up in a good home -- please don't be advertising her on the YA! as it is illegal as well as irresponsible as you have no way of screening who any of these people are -- you don't want her to be part of a Pit Bull coat...

add: Your parents were VERY irresponsible getting you a puppy for a gift -- that is why responsible breeders don't sell puppies as 'gifts' like that... Please don't FALSLY advertise her for 'adoption' -- you are SELLING her and it is false advertising to say she is being 'adopted' -- rescues and shelters adopt out dogs - others sell them... She is young enough (too young to be away from her littermates actually and likely you are simply selling a pup) that rescue will have little trouble placing her and will do better by her than you or your parents could -- contact PB rescue and turn her in now so she can have a better chance of being adopted by a responsible owner...

Answer 4

I'm not sure how much you should ask for her, but I do think it's admirable that you are trying to do what is best for her by finding a home where she will get the attention she needs.

If you are worried about placing her in a good home, you can always ask for references from anyone who wants to adopt her and ask to visit their home to see where she would be living. Your local animal shelter may have a board where you could post a listing for her - it'd be more likely to be seen by a true animal lover than if you just post an ad in the newspaper.

Good luck in placing her in a good home.

Answer 5

aww. she is gorgeous! If I lived there and didnt already have 3 dogs I would take her. She is a beauty! BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN REHOMING HER. (as already said people would take this dog in a heart beat since it is still young to make it fight) Try finding a pitbull rescue group (no kill) and tell them that you are having a hard time finding a home for her because you dont want her to being misused.

Answer 6

Just because you ask a price does not mean you dog will end up in a good home. You need to ask them some questions and ask for the name and number of their vet and talk to him/her to see if they take care of their dogs. Go to some dog websites and see the questions they ask. Make sure it is someone who really understnad Pit Bulls.

Answer 7

If you can get her to Jersey I will take her. She is beautiful. But be very wary of two things: Scumbags who ban pit bulls, so whoever you let her go to, make sure you check there is no impending evil BSL on the horizon. Scumbags who fight dogs and abuse them.
You can do a background check on people for 200 people for 10bucks at PublicData.com. All you need is their name.
Please make sure you do this. Seriously, if you can't find a good home, I will take her. Check out my blues on my pic.

Answer 8

You would probably be better off turning her over to a rescue. They are experienced in finding good homes for dogs, and are more likely to place her the right home than you would be.

Answer 9

Careful. Many people take pit bull puppies for the wrong reasons.

Answer 10

What about taking her to a no kill shelter or the SPCA.

Both are goo places for dogs!

I have been with my dad when he adopted 2 dogs from the SPCA.

Both were very sweet!
