I am moving to Providence in June and had no idea there was such a thing as "breed restrictions". I got my sweet pup from a shelter about 2 years ago and never thought I'd ever own a "Pit Bull". I am not here to argue for or against whatever sentiment might exist regarding "Pit Bulls", but I have had dogs my whole life and I have never felt loved by or have loved a dog as much as I do this one. I mainly just need a place to rent and after inquiring for the past 4 days, that is feeling a bit hopeless right now. Thirty minutes ago I spoke with an agent at a property management firm who said "regardless of what her breed says on paper, if she even looks like a pit bull, we have no home owners who will rent to you". Willing to do whatever it takes as getting rid of her is not an option. Any advice/tips are much appreciated!

I can't blame them, I was bitten by an unprovoked pitbull at work years ago, and my leg is deformed with scars as a result.
