Phoebe is already showing little glimpses of the happy dog she is capable of becoming. Even though the shelter environment is still very new and overwhelming, staff have seen her greet people with loose tail wags when approached in her kennel. Those soft, hopeful moments can say so much about a dog who is still learning to feel safe. Underneath her uncertainty is a sweet girl who clearly wants connection and reassurance from the people around her. Phoebe is looking for a patient adopter who will let her settle in at her own pace and help her build confidence little by little. Dogs like Phoebe often blossom beautifully once they realize they are finally home and no longer have to worry about what comes next. The first tail wags are already there, and with time, kindness, and consistency, her personality will likely continue to bloom. For the right person, helping Phoebe discover comfort and joy could become a truly special relationship. Adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving with you.
