About Bebe

Meet Bebe, a 5-year-old pit bull mix with a short brown coat who’s ready to leave his tough past behind. Despite not always getting the care he needed, Bebe is quick to trust and gives affection freely. He’s sharp, sweet, and nearly house trained, making life easier for his future family. Bebe thrives in a stable home with adults or teenagers—he’s not suited to a house with small kids, and he needs a cat-free environment. Dog friendships are uncertain, so introductions should happen in person with any resident dogs. Like many pittie-types, he may have some allergies that could need a little extra care. Bebe is eager to bond, loyal at heart, and deserves a peaceful home where his gentle side can shine. Born September 29, Bebe is a Libra, which may explain his love for close companionship.
