Blue Pit Looking for a no dog home

Description

My previous post was flagged, I'm not sure why, so I'm trying again. I have a ~4 year old, neutered, blue nose pitbull that I need to find a home for asap. His name is Lenny, and I adopted him as a stray 2 years ago, so I don't know his background before that. I've been denied by several shelters, and my local one said they'd euthanize him if I brought him there. I'm going to be homeless in less than a week and have run out of options. If I could safely keep him, I would, but he can be triggered by other dogs, especially ones he doesn't know. He can coexist with some training and patience, as he's been living with my other dog since I've gotten him, but I think it'd be safest and less stressful for everybody if he were to be an only dog. It took a lot of patience to reduce his reactivity with my other dog, and even now they will get in occasionally scuffles over food or toys. It would also probably be best if he had a fenced in yard, or had a sturdy tie out to ensure his safety, and the safety of any passing dogs he doesn't know/is threatened by. He loves all people, strangers or not, and will often get so excited for pets he can't hold still. He's also great with cats, will occasionally chase if he's got a burst of energy, but will stop when you tell him to. He knows sit and lay down, and doesn't have any aggression issues towards people. He's been around younger kids and loved them; my only concern being his energy level, and not being able to control his body when he gets too excited, which could potentially knock down small children. He pulls a little on walks, but has gotten better by using a collar and face harness instead of a body harness. He is potty trained and despite his energy level, knows when to lay down. He absolutely LOVES bones, so if you want to occupy him, give him a bone lol. He's such a happy dog and I don't believe he deserves to be put down because he doesn't trust other dogs. Please give my boy a home, I'm willing to waive a rehoming fee to the right person. Thank you.
