PHOENIX - Plott Hound and Pit Bull Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Barnstable, Massachusetts

Say hello to the fiery Phoenix! This sweet older girl lvoes to play with dog friends, cuddling and getting pets from her human friends, and tasy treats. Phoenix is a bit reserved at first, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give this sensitive girl some time to decompress in their new home. Phoenix enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle in at the end of the day on the couch. Phoenix has a positive history with kids, so she may go home to kids that can participate in her training and let her warm up at her own pace. Phoenix has enjoyed spending time around other mellow dogs at the shelter, so we think they may do well with a canine sibling that is comfortable with a more calm friend. Phoenix has never met a cat before, but may do well with a dog-savvy cat in the home.
