I think instead of reinforcing her natural drive to kill and shred and tug on a rope toy, put her energy towards retrieving or other doggy stuff, (even though she may not give a rats arse if you throw something and expect her to retrieve it. )

I believe if she uses her energy in other activities daily, and it's made explicitly clear about the attitude of a pit bull, she would be able to be rehomed with an experienced and willing pit owner.

I agree 100%. I don't have Pit Bulls, but I have had 2 American Eskimos, a breed lovingly known as 'face biters' by vets, groomers, etc., and my success with them was to always let them know who the leader of the pack is (by making them sit before being fed, taken for walks, allowed to play with a toy, etc), by spending time with them through play sessions and grooming sessions, and by tiring the heck out of them through really long walks. They both (one now lives with my ex) can be around other dogs, cats, and children.

From what I've read on this thread, it seems Baby has hope. But I would recommend someone w/o children or other pets, who is familiar with strong breeds like Pit Bulls, Rotties, etc., maybe even worked with abused dogs before, and who has time to work with her & let her expend a lot of energy.

I do wish you the best of luck because it is a terrible situation that you are in.
