Re-homing a 15 month old unneutered pit bull is exceedingly difficult. My first suggestion would be that your friend get her dog neutered and updated with vaccinations first. Then have her contact a rescue to help her. Quite a few rescues will help with rehoming as long as the owner is willing to commit to doing everything they can to help find their dog a new home.

What we do is require the dog/cat to be neutered and up to date with vaccinations prior to our helping the family re-home their pet. We also send an animal behaviorist to their house to do a formal assessment. While we do the assessment, we talk to them about possible alternatives to re-homing. Many times it is just a matter of pointing them in the right direction to solve any behavior problems. If they are still committed to re-homing we will list the dog for them, screen applicants, do home visits, etc. Any adoption fee (we suggest a minimum of $50) is donated to our organization for the work we do.

Most shelters are full of adult pits and pit mixes and it is the unfortunate circumstance that most pits and pit mixes do not make it out of the shelter system alive (generally less than 15% nationwide). So you might want to talk to your friend and give her/him a good dose of reality - a commitment to an animal is very serious and not something that should be taken lightly.
