About Phoebe

Phoebe craves companionship and is happiest when surrounded by people or other dogs. She’s full of energy, always ready for play, and thrives on attention—she’s not a loner and gets anxious when left alone for long stretches. In her current home, she lives with cats, but she’s really too rambunctious around them. Phoebe loves playing with other dogs and truly needs at least one canine buddy, as being an only pet leaves her feeling lonely. She’s treat-motivated and will get herself into trouble if there’s food left within reach, but she eats well and generally has a happy appetite. Her playful jumping and attempts to use her paws to get attention come with her youthful enthusiasm: she knows a few commands and shows real intelligence, though her listening skills need work and patience. Phoebe’s the kind of dog who’d be perfect for someone working from home or a retired couple who want an active, affectionate companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
