Meet the delightful Phoebe! This sweet 9-month-old pup is a bundle of joy waiting for her forever home. 🌟 Weighing in at just 25 pounds, she'll likely stay petite. When Phoebe first arrived in foster care, she was a little timid, choosing to hang out in her crate—door wide open—while she observed her new surroundings. 🐾 But don't let that fool you! Give her some time, and you'll witness a burst of bravery and heart. Outdoors is where Phoebe truly shines! She adores exploring her fenced yard, and guess what? This southern belle loves the snow! ❄️ Now that's what I call a winter wonderland enthusiast! And if you toss a ball, prepare for a display of skill as she prances around the yard like she's just won the canine Olympics! 🎾 With just a bit of practice, Phoebe could be your fetching superstar! This girl has a heart full of love for other dogs, happily inviting them to join in on the fun—and should they need a break, she's all good with that too! 💖 While a playmate would be fantastic for building her confidence, it’s not a must. Her perfect forever family will need to be patient as Phoebe learns to trust. Once she does, her affectionate personality will shine! 🌈 However, because she can get jumpy in her excitement, a home without small children would be ideal. And let me tell you, this girl packs a punch of speed! She might just make the perfect hiking companion or agility partner when she warms up! As for her heritage, her adorable coloring suggests she might be part cattle dog or rat terrier—but aDNA test would resolve the mystery! 🕵️‍♀️ Smart as a whip, she already knows some commands like "Get in yer crate" and "Go on!" Though she still needs some leash training, she'll be a well-mannered lady with a bit of guidance. Don't worry if car rides seem a tad daunting; with a few treats and patience, she'll learn to enjoy the ride! Keep in mind Phoebe is still young and has some chewing tendencies, so investing in proper chew toys will be essential. 🧸 Plus, she's already spayed and up-to-date on veterinary care—heartworm negative and on prevention! Once trust is established, Phoebe will blossom into a loving and rambunctious companion. To sweeten the deal, her amazing foster mom, a certified dog trainer, offers a free training lesson to her new family! 🌟 Like her namesake from "Friends," Phoebe has her quirks, but her eagerness to love and learn is unmatched! Are you ready to be her forever friend? 🥰 Phoebe is currently being fostered in Pittsfield, MA, but she’s ready to find her home anywhere in the neighboring states!
