Ann ~ what a sweetie you are
Last year, I helped (well lead) the rehoming of my younger (21 y/o) brothers pit Lola. She was almost 1 year old at the time, and did have her first heat which made her nips look as if she had pups (but she didn't). Anyway, I had a very, very hard time finding a rescue for her, and we were under the gun, as my brother was moving out of his rented house and had to travel for work. He loved Lola with all his heart, but under the circumstances it was best for Lola to find a permanent stable home. And NO WAY was she going to a Shelter...
Through friends of friends of friends of friends, I was able to get Lola a "private" foster home, meaning the foster home wasn't through a rescue. We set Lola up with all she needed (food, bed, etc...) We got Lola up to date on her shots, and we had her spayed once her heat was through. In the meantime, I did find a really great Bully Rescue:

While they didn't have a foster home open for Lola, they did post her info on their petfinder account, and after about 3 or 4 months, Lola was adopted!!!! She went to a loving home in CT, 5 acres and she got a Pit Brother (Petey) ~ they are doing very well...
This rescue charges $200 adoption fee (which made me happy to know that Lola's Dad was willing to pay that much for her, being a Pit
) The rescue really didn't have to do alot in this case...we did everything to get Lola ready, they did a home inspection etc...It all worked out great!
I hope everything works out in this case too
