Phoebe is a Shepherd mix who has the rare mix of affection and brainpower. She’s five, with a streak of sweetness that shows in how she tailors her whole day to keeping her people close and her tail gently wagging. She’s tuned in to people’s moods, happy to dole out comfort, but you’ll notice there’s nothing slow about her—Phoebe picks up on problems fast and crushes any puzzle toy in record time. She lives for games that work her mind or keep her moving. If you can match her energy and curiosity, you’ll get a dog who never grows bored and wants nothing more than to include you in her adventures. She soaks up playtime, enjoys a solid walk, and is happy to curl up for downtime once her daily quota of activity is met. Phoebe is listed as not yet house trained and may have some special needs that her adopter should be ready to discuss. She’s a fit for someone seeking a dynamic, very loving companion and open to keeping her mind active. Phoebe is in Springfield, MO, and ready for the next step in a home where she won’t be underestimated. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
