About Phoebe

Phoebe channels the same smart, outgoing, and fun-loving energy as her Friends namesake. She thrives around people and other dogs, always ready to join in the action. Phoebe is already paper trained and making steady progress with her leash skills. She and her siblings survived a dramatic start, rescued as a group trying to cross a busy road during a thunderstorm. Since that day, Phoebe has been picking up all her basic manners at the shelter, and comes with post-adoption training resources for her new family. Phoebe gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids. She's best matched to an active home with a secured yard—a 6 ft fence is a must. As a Pisces born on February 28th, she brings a little extra sweetness and intuition into the mix.
