The facial structure definitely screams "pit" to me

But honestly though at his young age theres really no guaranteed way to tell until he gets older

Oh I am sorry I forgot to metion:that when my husband found him , he was working at this house and actually thought it was their dog.. they said no , so my husband went down the road asking anyone and found the guy who said he had the puupy but had given it to a girl, who obviously let it go. The guy said his other dogs were beating up on it .. and he keeps all his dogs on chains outside. well my husband did not feel comfortable leaving this puppy there due to the missing hair patches on his leg. So he gave this guy our phone number is case the girl comes back. The girls he said was very young. but no response .. I have just put a ad in the paper good home only inside vet references.. I wish I could keep him but just cannot... The orginial owner did not have much to say actually just if you wanna leave him tie him up over there.. my husband was upset by this and that is why we have him... crazy huh.. we live in a cold atmosphere so this is horrible..

I definitely see Pit all over that pup. He's a cutie, I hope you find a good home for him.

He's adorable! I really do see Pittie, maybe some Boxer because of the black mask. My advice would be to take him to a low-cost vet to make sure he's healthy, and charge an adoption fee covering the vet & food costs plus maybe $25... So the whole adoption fee will be around $100. This will hopefully help weed out bad homes a bit. Try your BEST to meet the entire family that is adopting, learn everything about them, and if you're comfortable ask for a home visit. You should also either adopt him out on a neuter contract (meaning, the adopter promises to get him neutered and leaves a deposit with you or a vet), or get him neutered at a low-cost facility (my city neuters Pit bulls for FREE) before adopting him out.

It sounds like a tough situation, but you did an awesome thing for this puppy, and he really does deserve a great home - unlike the one he came from
