About Phoebe

Meet Phoebe! My name is Phoebe, I am named after the goddess of the moon with my beautiful dark brindle and grey eyes. I am a pint size beauty but don't let that fool you, I love to stalk my siblings and climb to get them to play! I also enjoy a good cuddle after my play time and give gentle nibbles on your ears if you hold me close. I am 8 weeks old and about 6.5lbs. I am an American Pit Bull Terrier. I came with my 5 siblings from Texas at 4 days old and have been in foster home together with a foster family who has 5 dogs from 10-110lbs who have helped teach me the ropes of being a dog. Phoebe is the perfect mix of sweet and spunky spending her time playing with all of her dog friends and retreating to the closest lap for a nap or issuing a toe nibble to tell her foster mom to pick her up. She is the smallest puppy and fought hard to bottle feed and keep up, and has blossomed into a confident girl. She loves wrestling and hide and seek! She also loves a nap and kisses in your arms. She loves wrestling, tug of war, and curling up with her foster sister. She is very food motivated and has learned sit and touch with vocal and hand commands. She does respond to her name and will come running to you for hugs or to be picked up ! Phoebe thrives with dog & human friends and loves to have someone to cuddle with or play with. Phoebe is too cold even when it's warm to want to do potty training outside but is working on it! She does well with her potty pads! She has not yet been introduced to a crate but is calm and relaxed in her playpen. She does great with all humans even as young as 2 and has been bottle fed, so human touch is very important to her. One of her other favorite things is a fluffy bed or blanket to comfort her when she needs a mama dog, she might even try to nurse before a nap. Phoebe has met cats at her grandma's house and didn't seem to mind, she is also respectful of senior dogs and plays respectfully with others. Her perfect family would continue her positive reinforcement training, love cuddles and puppy kisses, be active and have children and/or another dog or 2 for her to play with.
