Thanks everyone I talked to her about it but she says she still wants it but has been too tired to play or care for it with her job. I told her I was tired of becoming solely responsible for it and considered finding it a new home and she got real mad saying I was being selfish for wanting to.
Kudos for trying to communicate with her.
Unfortunately, She is not taking your feelings seriously, offering only an excuse and dismissing your suggestion without offering her own suggestions.
Wow I can't stand people that get pets and then won't take care of them appropriately. That would be a dealbreaker for me. It seems to me she is lacking in maturity.
I agree with others, that the dog needs to be in a better situation. Thank God that one of you has at least been tending to him - and a pet, especially a puppy, needs to have a positive beginning. I would say if this is really taken into consideration by you both, that you should give him up. I don't know if you could do so directly, but would be best probably with a family whose members could truly devote time and attention needed. Do not just give it to another person who might be enthusiastic, but could end up too busy or inattentive, like the girlfriend. Or sadly, doggie will end up in a shelter as too many do.. competing to be adopted.
OP, Re: your last post. This tells you everything you need to know about this woman. She is a child. This is exactly the attitude of a child when it comes to having a pet. They love the pet at first, but after awhile, they lose interest and then don't want to care for it, feed it, walk it, etc. This woman would do the same thing with children and eventually you. Get rid of her now.

..and you are with this girl why???
This is a serious red flag. You need to get rid of her.
