About Phoebe

Phoebe is a delightful Dachshund/Pit Bull mix lady, born in January 2026, with an eye-catching look—short legs on a medium-sized frame. Her charm is undeniable, and she’s eager to find a family to shower with affection. Phoebe is still in the process of learning about potty training and leash walking, so she’ll do best with a family that's ready to be patient and encouraging. She prefers outdoor time with proper supervision, and a fenced yard is a bonus but not mandatory. Phoebe has a friendly disposition and could fit well into households with other dogs, cats, or children, as long as everyone gets appropriate introductions. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworms—she’s all set for her new home. If you’re looking for a sweet, small pup with a big heart, Phoebe might be the perfect match for you! You must live within approximately 100 miles of Benld or Springfield, IL, to adopt.
