I was picked up as a stray by a local shelter with 3 adorable tiny babies. One of my babies quickly got adopted but nobody wanted me and my other two babies. After several weeks we ran out of time and a plea went out to save our lives. Nobody had room though and things were starting to look very bleak for me and my two pups. We were in a small cramped run so as not to take up space but the shelter staff knew we couldn't just live there forever. A staff member reached out to Almost Home with photos of us and begged them to make room as we were on the schedule for the next day. It was our last chance - rescue lady kept opening and closing the pictures she had no room but she couldn't get us out of her mind. She knew she had to find a way and contacted the shelter to see if we were still there. We were! She said she would pick us up in an hour if they could take us off the list. When she got there my puppies were terrified they had never rally been held in the time we were there so though I was extremely grateful and showed them how happy I was to be alive and get out of there my puppies didn't know how lucky we were. They peed and pooed all over the rescue lady as she them up I was so scared she would change her mind so I gave her kisses and wagged my tail and pulled and pulled on my leash to get us out. She put my babies in the crate and gagged all the way back to her house. I was so happy she didn't change her mind or leave my kids behind. So there is my story now about me. I am super sweet, well behaved, and very loving. I get along with all the other dogs and cats and ignore the cats and chickens. I love to play fetch but most of all I just love to be loved. I love hanging out on the dog beds watching tv or taking leisurely walks around the yard with my loved one. I've never had an accident in the home and I've never jumped on the grandchildren. Rescue lady says she just doesn't understand I am still homeless but she promises one day a family will come and give me a chance and I will be loved and spoiled forever- I can't wait for that day to come. Please scroll down for the boring information about me the rescue lady said people might want to know. Please be aware birthday and breeds listed are our best guesses based on looks - we seldom know this information unless they come in with registration papers. 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. She can be quite the defender when shady people are on the ditch bank but has never shown aggression when meeting new people in the house or yard. 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.
