Meet Phoebe, an 8-year-old shepherd mix with soulful eyes and an even softer heart. This sweet girl has been through quite a journey recently—she came to us in need of emergency surgery for a serious uterine infection called pyometra—but handled everything like an absolute champion. Now fully recovered, Phoebe is ready to find the calm, loving home she deserves. Phoebe is the definition of a loyal companion. In her foster home, she’s become a total shadow dog, happily following her foster mom from room to room just to be close to her people. She forms deep bonds and has the sweetest submissive smile she gives when greeting her favorite humans—a little expression that’s impossible not to fall in love with. While Phoebe enjoys a quieter lifestyle these days, don’t mistake her for a couch potato. She still has plenty of pep in her step and loves long walks, exploring outside, playing with toys, and soaking up fresh air on the porch. One of her cutest quirks? She insists on sleeping with a toy tucked under her chin or cuddled in her arms every night. Phoebe is looking for an adult-only home where she can truly settle in and feel comfortable. She could potentially live with another dog after slow, thoughtful introductions—or she’d be just as happy soaking up all the love as your one and only. With proper introductions, she may also be able to coexist with a dog-savvy cat. If you’re searching for a devoted best friend who will happily join you for walks, curl up beside you for movie nights, and love you with her whole heart, Phoebe may just be the perfect addition to your family.
