I am assisting this family with rehoming their pitbull with a new adoptive family or with a rescue group.  The owner has a severe neurological condition is unable to care for her any longer.  She is fully vetted, good with dogs, cats and kids.  She is 4.5 years old. Read the bio and see the pics below.  If you are interested in adopting or taking her into your licensed reputable rescue please let me know via email at hollyn...@aol.com.  Thank you!  If we don't help she will end up in Douglas County Animal Control.  If you are local to Douglasville and she can join you at events please let me know.
