Meet Phoenix! Phoenix is a lovely American Pit Bull Terrier girl. She is around 7 years old and is looking for a home where she can go into early retirement! While she's only middle-aged (for a pit bull) and has lots of life left to live, she'd prefer somewhere where her responsibilities are next-to-nothing. Somewhere she can hang out and be waited on like diva that she is! Phoenix knows when breakfast and dinner times are and tries REALLY hard to convince everyone that she got skipped at feeding time. If things were her way, she'd have breakfast, lunch, dinner and maybe a few snacks in between! She's not a super active dog, but does enjoy a short walk. Unless, of course, it is too close to feeding time. Then she limits her walk time to pottying only—no extra steps please. Phoenix is extremely food motivated so one way to coax her into a walk is by using food to encourage her. If you are looking for a hungry little hippo bestie, please apply for Phoenix! She would do best in a calm home as the only dog. Apply now!
