Approximate DOB 07/11/2021 Size - maybe 45 lbs History- This little girl was picked up by animal control with her puppies (Monica and Ross) running at large. At that time the puppies were about 5 weeks old and just following mom as she looked for food. They then spent about 6 weeks in the shelter with no interest. After 6 weeks the shelter was packed with no open kennels and they were asking for help and sent out some photos of dogs who had been there a long time that could end up on the euthanasia list if one had to be made. We let them know we would take them and picked them up the next morning. Phoebe was extremely grateful and pranced around and showed us just how happy she was to be here. Temperament- She is one of the sweetest girls ever. So happy and just loves attention. After being with s for a year she has learned that toys are super fun. Energy Level- High energy - should have another dog to play and run with or a running partner. She seems to do better with males. Dogs/Cats- She has met the other dogs here and loves to play with Shadow and Ruger the best. She has seen the cats in the house and just ignores them. Housetrained- She is perfect. Has not had a single accident and is crate trained as well for when I have to leave. Phoebe is an absolute doll!! Just a perfect, sweet, gentle little girl. However, we have learned she can be difficult to contain. We had them in a run off the back of the house- 6 ft panels and she easily jumped up and pulled herself over. She will need a tall privacy fence to keep her contained - if there is wire she can jump and then pull herself up and over. We have put a hot wire up and she has learned to stay away from the fences here. She is high energy and quite the little defender. A creepy guy was riding a bike past the foster home recently and she decided to chase him off- she doesn't bite but she will chase and bark to let people know she means business. She is very sweet though and happy and introduces to new people easily. She is very gentle with my 3 year old granddaughter and even lets her handle the leash without pulling her down. She has learned here (as come), responds to a whistle if further away to come, and sits on command. She is just an overall easy girl that would be a fantastic addition to any family wanting a sweet, athletic, loving girl.
