Phoebe is a young, medium-sized female pit bull/American Staffordshire terrier mix with a short white, cream, and brown coat. She’s been cared for in Fort Mill, SC, and thrives with her active, curious nature. She has no special needs and has grown steadily from a tiny puppy to a petite but healthy girl. Phoebe’s playful and friendly personality makes her a great fit for families with older children and plenty of space.

About Phoebe

Phoebe came to rescue in March as a healthy, happy puppy and has been getting plenty of love in foster care ever since. Even though she started out petite—just 5 lbs at 10 weeks—she’s a sturdy 23 lbs at 5 months. She’s a small pit and full of joyful puppy energy. Phoebe does great with people and other dogs, but because she’s still learning her strength and boundaries, she should only live with children over 9 years old. A physically fenced yard is a must so she can safely stretch her legs and get her energy out. She thrives with an active family that’s ready for puppy playtime and exploration. Phoebe’s foster says she is endlessly curious and energetic, but once she’s had her walk (or a good burst of Zoomies) she’s happy to chill out in her crate. She enjoys naps, cuddles, adventure, lamb horns, and will enthusiastically participate in treat time if chicken or baby carrots are involved. If you’re looking for a playful sidekick bursting with affection, Phoebe is ready for her new adventure. Start your journey together! Apply now.
