Just a comment - not everything has to be about dogfighting 
"No doubt" the dog was doused with acid because she wouldn't fight? How do they know? I just don't like assumptions when it comes to Pit Bull stuff.
Regardless, let's spread the word and hopefully bring this "person" to some sort of justice.

Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park Zoo is offering a $1,000 reward to help find the person or people who threw acid on the face of a pit bull terrier and left it to die on the streets of Newark, NJ (USA).
“Dogs like this are usually abused, often brutally killed by their owners because they refuse to participate in dog fighting competitions or they are not aggressive,” said Roseann Trezza, Executive Director, Associated Humane Societies/Popcorn Park.
“This sweet dog was tortured, no doubt, because she didn’t have the instinct to fight.
Whoever does this to any living creature needs to be prosecuted.”
Associated Humane Societies has set up a reward fund to be given to anyone who offers information leading to the arrest & conviction of the dog’s abuser(s).
This young female pit bull was found by police wandering on Fabyan Place, here, by police, who noted her condition and immediately contacted the animal control officer at AHS. When the animal control officer arrived at the scene, the dog was hiding behind a parked car.
Officials have named her Fabyana.
She was taken to the Newark Animal Care Center for immediate treatment and today was transported to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Eatontown for long-term care. Veterinarians there said acid burned her face, back and thighs, yet she remains happy with a tail that wags whenever people or animals approach her. She is about a year old and it is believed that the wounds are about a week old.
Illegal dog fighting has reached epidemic levels in many urban areas, and law enforcement officials are beginning to take notice and take action. Associated Humane Societies urges anyone who knows about illegal dog fighting activity to contact ocal police or the New Jersey SPCA at 1-800-582-5979.
AHS’s Res-Q Fund is a special program that funds special care of animals like Fabyana. If you’d like to help Fabyana and others like her, learn more about Res-Q Fund at www.ahscares.org
