I'm Phoenix--call me Phinny! I'm a 6-year-old white and blue American Staffordshire Terrier who's affectionate, cuddly, and loyal to my people.
Clifford's Army Rescue saved me after another dog attacked me and injured my face. I had to have my nostrils opened back up and some surgery to try to protect my teeth.
I found my perfect home and life was wonderful. My human mom was always with me and we just had the best life. Unfortunately she died unexpectedly.
I'm already neutered, housetrained, and crate trained, so I'm ready to settle right in with you. I do best as your one and only pup (no other dogs or cats for me), but I'm wonderful with kids and love being close to my family. Could you be my new family?
