About Phoebe

Phoebe stands out as a genuinely beautiful dog, both in looks and in spirit. At about three and a half years old and weighing around 52 pounds, she’s the type who enjoys staying active—running is definitely her thing. She’s adapted well to apartment or condo living, and she’s reliably potty trained and crate trained. Phoebe also gets along well with other dogs, which makes her a good fit for multi-dog homes. Her early life involved mistreatment, which left its mark. Because of this, Phoebe generally does best in homes without men; while she’s worked with male staff at the rescue, she’s slow to trust unfamiliar men in her space. She’s quick to assess strangers and will need plenty of time and space to decompress in a new environment. A patient, experienced adopter is non-negotiable—Phoebe isn’t the kind of dog who will become comfortable overnight, but she will bond deeply with someone who sticks by her side. Phoebe has spent almost her whole life at the rescue, waiting for the right match. If you’re looking for an extraordinary companion and have the resolve to invest in her progress, Phoebe might just be looking for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
