About Phoebe Scroll To Typed

Phoebe is a young, spayed American Bully/Boxer mix bursting with energy and affection. At about a year and a half, she's endured a rough start, shuffled between homes without anyone taking the time to train her. Not surprisingly, when she's bored, Phoebe's energy comes out in chewing. Her current living situation—cramped house, busy caretaker—just isn't working for a dog like her. She thrives with play, structure, and movement, and right now she's just not getting it. Phoebe needs an adopter who is ready to dedicate time and patience to her. A securely fenced yard is best, or else a person willing to commit to daily long walks and active play. No tie-outs or tethering allowed. You’ll also need to agree—it's part of the adoption contract—to attend basic and leash-training classes, which are already covered by the rescue. Phoebe lives peacefully with a small dog and tolerates cats, though the cats keep their distance. She’s good with children, but because she’s boisterous, homes with only older kids are recommended. She is already housebroken and current on her vaccinations. Stable housing and proof of income are required to adopt. If you’ve been looking for a lively companion who’s ready for a fresh start and real commitment, Phoebe is waiting in Rockford, IL. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
