Meet Phoebe & Athena – The Great Goddesses!
Looking for a divine little pup to bring love and laughter into your life? Meet Phoebe and Athena, two American Pit Bull Terrier sisters born on January 5th, who are as affectionate as they are playful! These two have been raised with love in a foster home and are ready to find their forever families.
Meet Phoebe – The Moon Goddess 🌙 Phoebe, named after the goddess of the moon, is a pint-sized beauty with a stunning dark brindle coat and mesmerizing grey eyes. Don’t let her size fool you—she is fearless, always pouncing on her siblings and climbing on them to initiate play. When playtime is over, she transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug, offering gentle ear nibbles as she nestles into your arms.

Phoebe is the perfect mix of sweet and spunky, alternating between playful wrestling matches and curling up for cozy naps. She loves hide and seek, tug of war, and cuddling with her foster sister. She’s incredibly food-motivated and has already learned 'sit' and 'touch' with both vocal and hand commands. She eagerly responds to her name and will come running for hugs or to be picked up. Raised around dogs of all sizes (10-110 lbs), she thrives with both canine and human companions, including children as young as two. She has also met cats and was respectful around them.
Her ideal home would continue her positive reinforcement training, offer plenty of cuddles, and include children and/or other playful dogs to keep her company. A cozy fluffy bed is a must—she loves snuggling up for naps!

Meet Athena – The Warrior Goddess ⚔️ Athena, affectionately called "Tina" by her foster mom, is a fighter in every sense of the word. Having battled pneumonia as a tiny puppy, she has grown into a well-fed, strong, and loving girl with a gentle but slightly dramatic personality. If left alone for more than 20 seconds, she’ll let you know she wants attention—she’s a true cuddle queen who thrives on affection!
Athena enjoys a good play session, whether it’s tug of war, carrying around plush toys, or chasing her sister. She’s a big fan of sticks, leaves, and a little playful barking match. After all the fun, she’s happy to snuggle into your lap or at your feet. She has a cute habit of growling when she plays and snoring when she sleeps!
Like Phoebe, Athena is food-motivated and has learned 'sit' and 'touch' with vocal and hand commands. She’s working on ‘wait’ and responds enthusiastically to her name. She adores human companionship, loves to be carried, and enjoys playing with other dogs. While she still has some puppy nibbles, she is learning boundaries and proper play.
Training & Routine:Both Phoebe and Athena are learning to potty outside and have only a few accidents a day when kept on a routine. They have been introduced to a crate and enjoy sleeping and playing in it. Bottle-fed from a young age, they are incredibly bonded to humans and seek comfort in warm snuggles and soft blankets.
The Perfect Home:These loving girls would do best in homes where they receive plenty of affection, continued training, and the company of humans or other dogs. Whether you’re looking for a playful pup to join an active family or a snuggle buddy for movie nights, Phoebe or Athena is ready to bring goddess-level love into your life!
