Phoebe

Meet Phoebe ?? Phoebe is a beautiful 4 year old mix breed girl who is currently looking for a place to grow some roots. Unfortunately, Phoebe hasn’t had a lot of stability in her short life, and is hoping to find someone who can show her compassion and patience as she gets acclimated to a new home. The key to Phoebe’s heart is a relationship built on trust. Her initial response is shyness, but given adequate time, Phoebe will show you her soul is pure gold and be your best friend. We have witnessed Phoebe blossom in the short time she has been with her foster family. She greets her humans with full body wags, and affectionately will nudge their hands when she wants more scratches. Phoebe enjoys playing with toys, appreciates a good bone to chew on, and a good nap in her dog bed. We are so happy with her progress, and would love for her to take the next step in finding her forever home! Phoebe is full grown at 54 pounds. She is crate and potty trained. Phoebe does best with male dogs, and wouldn’t be a good candidate for a home with another female dog. She is currently fostered with a male large breed dog, and a cat. Phoebe does not like to share food, toys or bones with other animals, so it will be important that she gets these resources when she is separated from the other dogs or cats in the home. Phoebe is an insecure girl, and does require slow intros to other dogs. She would be most successful with another mellow canine friend who can be respectful of her space when she needs it. Phoebe really enjoys the cat in her foster home and will engage in play. She has no issues with people and is very respectful. Due to her fearfulness, Phoebe is looking for a home with no small children. She is nervous in the car and of passing cars while out on a walk. Her foster family is working her through these things, but it will take time, commitment, and consistency from her humans. We would love to offer her forever family some training sessions to continue to help Phoebe navigate her fear and insecurities. She currently knows her basic commands including sit, down, kennel up, and place. She is a smart girl, and responds to direction well. Phoebe is currently on Apoquel and a fish based diet to combat her allergies. She has responded beautifully to her new regimen and her coat is already looking so much better. Phoebe is feeling great, and has a new lease on life. She would love to find a calm, safe place to call her own. Give Phoebe a shot and you are sure to be rewarded with a companion who will make your days a little bit brighter! ?
