I dont know this for a 100% fact but another pit bull owner at a dog park told me in my city they dont allow pit bull adoptions they just put them to sleep even if someone WANTS to adopt them. But ill check first before I rule that out.
Yes! That's why is recommended calling a RESCUE group....
I do not mean to sound like a know-it-all or someone pushing into your business, but the next time you take in a living animal, please make sure you are doing 100% the right thing..
I know I did it for selfish and stupid reasons and feel ike crap about it now.
I wish you were closer to Southern Cal. I'd volunteer to foster her for you, except you'd run the risk of not getting her back after I fell in love with her.
1. Call your vet to see if anyone there will take her in on a temporary basis
2. Board and visit everyday; see if you can get a discount for the long-term boarding
3. Ignore the apartment's notice and risk a ding to your credit as they will likely go through an eviction process
Also, any chance you can push the date up to move earlier? Such as asking to rent the property until closing?
Maybe move to a pet-friendly long/short-term motel?

Thanks, I think #1 might work. I go to a smaller vet and she's really nice so she might know of someone.
I second the Craigslist idea although be very careful screening people. Also, I don't know if you were on good terms with your landlord before this but you could also ask since you are only there for the next 2-3 months if you could pay an additional "pet rent" or an additional deposit. A friend of mine was in a similar situation and offered to pay a $500 deposit so the landlord had piece of mind that if the dog did destroy anything, they would have the deposit to fall back on. Its worth a try. Good luck to you!

Love this post, and could not have said it better, especially about the boarding and the vet
To the OP: careful with Craigslist; remember that you don't know who she would be going to, and it is very easy to pose as an animal lover
I thought the same thing as another poster, I wish I lived in Ohio, I would sooo foster her for you. That said, have you tried the Ohio forum? I would trust that much more than Craigslist, although I am not sure if such a posting allowed on CityData.
I would stay away from rescues; it sounds like there is too much of a chance that she could be euth'd at the rescues in your area.
If you can afford it, a boarding facility is your best bet. If not, I agree about contacting your vet; he/she may even offer to foster your girl or will at least be able to rec someone who can.
