Pistachio AKA Phoebe - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Pistachio, a.k.a. Phoebe a.k.a. shark bite! What can we say about her? She’s a pint-sized Energizer pup who will steal your heart—and probably your socks. This high-energy little girl is ready to romp and play with your older children, your dogs, your hands, your feet, or pretty much anything else she can get her tiny puppy mouth on.

Pistachio LOVES other dogs and would happily spend her days playing with a canine buddy. She also loves meeting new people and is always ready to make another friend.

Her speedy little legs and legendary indoor zoomies make simply walking through the house an adventure. She specializes in darting between your legs, appearing underneath your feet without warning, and generally keeping you alert at all times.

She’s still very much a puppy and is working on potty training and daytime kennel naps. She may occasionally perform a few selections from her upcoming album Songs of My People when kenneled during the day, but she is learning to settle and self-soothe. At night, though? She takes kennel time like a champ.

Phoebe knows some basic commands, including sit, come, and leave it. Whether she chooses to acknowledge that she knows them is an entirely separate matter. Treats definitely improve her hearing.

Pistachio would do best with patient people, patient dogs, a good sense of humor, and possibly an escape route when the zoomies begin.

Underneath all that wild puppy energy is an incredibly sweet, affectionate little pup who loves her people, enjoys her cuddle time, and brings an unbelievable amount of laughter and joy wherever she goes. She’s tiny. She’s mighty. She’s ridiculous. And she just might be your new best friend.
