Secondary breed is Staffordshire Terrier (one of the breeds that was used to make up an American Pit Bull Terrier) Trace DNA was found of a Boston Terrier (not enough to explain the size anomaly) She is currently 6-7 months old and weighs in at 14 lbs at last weigh in. She will go up for adoption in January from the Pit Bull Rescue San Diego web site - http://www.pbrsd.com. In the mean time, Pit Bull Rescue San Diego has a number of wonderful regular sized puppies that are ready for adoption now. Check 'em out! Pocket’s DNA results came in this weekend:

Personality would fit well with our cur, size with the chi :) We're in northern cali but would drive down for her for sure. Before we got our Cur (only just figured out his breed - was rescued at 6 mo in terrible shape as well) we had a pit/border collie mix. Best dog we've ever owned. I'd take another full-sized pitty if we had the space. I second what most everyone above has said. I would adopt her in an instant. We have a chi and a cur at home.

I have a pitbull (Zeus) that I rescued from a pitbull fighting farm. They were going to kill him because he wasn't mean enough. These dogs really are sweethearts and get such a horrible reputation. If you need a forever home for Pocket, please let me know. I know everyone wants her, but Zeus would love a little sister. I love this little dog.

Call Ellen or Oprah - or best yet, call Rachael Ray she is a pit lover. You will receive many donations this way for sure. And maybe, just maybe, a twinge of guilt may fall into the hearts of the irresponsible breeders - all of them. This story should be featured on tv.

She ran in front of our truck and we thought we thought we had run ove her. I got out to check and she ran like crazy to me and jumped in my arms. I set her in the seat of the truck and my husbnd got a face wash. We knew where she came from so not wanting to take dog and not let the owners know how we felt about how they take care of their animals. After saying my peace I told him we were taking this skeleton of this puppy..... We took her to our vet. It took about to get in pretty good shape. From day she minded so we named her little angel. Loves everyone and stays by our side in public. I agree something shoule be done about the breeders and what they are breed for. This is our 2nd pit. They have a bad rap due to breeders not the dog.

I have 2 pits already, one is red & her brother is white & blue but BIG & yeah think how cool would it be to have a mini pit! Not that I don't like mine big but how much easier transport & control would be on a pint size pits! I too agree with the negative news on pits..it seems they target them out in the news..do they EVER write stories of the other dogs that bite?? NOPE..never do you see or hear of the MULTITUDE of other dogs that bite especially the small breeds which are notorious biters!! She is quite adorable & what a beautiful color. She's the lucky one of that litter! I hope she goes to a wonderful family & yep I'd take her on if needed but with the responses already I'm SURE she'll be adopted with no problem! Well off to the park for our run with mine.... What a shame but lucky break Pocket got over what the other pups will/could endure that the breeders sells or fights!!

She is beautiful. Personally, I would get a pit if they all came in that size. I’m so happy the Pocket was rescued. She is beautiful. Personally, I would get a pit if they all came in that size.
