My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Update 1/3/26: Phoebe was doing great at her foster to adoption home but due to guardian's sudden medical needs Phoebe now needs a new foster home. So sad for Phoebe. She was fine with her mom's dog. Best as only dog or at times correct or keep sep as needed. They adored her. At home she is cuddly affectionate enjoys her walks and loves food especially chicken. ----------------------------------------------------------- Poor Phoebe was at the shelter for about 2 months and her time was up there. She was nervous and scared in their shelter cages of all the loud barking dogs and noises. Once out in the office she relaxed and seeked cuddling from staff lady. Very sweet and gentle. Tested fine with other shelter dogs. She did fine with our transporter and vet office. Cuddled with our volunteer transporter. At her foster home she first hid but her foster home walked in she ran out of hiding into her arms. She is now very happy and feels safe. Princess Phoebe. So cute. More info. and photos to come as she relaxes at her foster home with 3 other dogs. She is good with select dogs that are larger then her but may guard person later. Need training and correction and she will listen to person. 5/3/25 update from Foster Home: 1 week. Phoebe is affectionate and sweet at their home. Now that she is relaxed she is bolder and wil guard her food bowl or chew and person to foster home's other 3 dogs especially their female bull dog (will attack her) but fine with 5 lbs female chi and large dog. Need to feed in sep area and train her to wait her turn. Must learn to wait for her food or she may try to grab person's food. She enjoys walks and cuddly sweet with person. She does fine hanging out with their male dobie and napping on sofa with him. Phoebe needs to be the only dog in home or fine with larger male or female dog. With her personality need experienced adult home. Older kids are fine. She has learned to go out to yard for potty biz. After 1 1/2 weeks she is now friendly with men and men friends that visited. Seeks attention. Now almost leash trained. With our volunteer walker she was great with her large shep mix female dog for walks and day care at her home. Loves people attention. Donations needed for Phoebe's emergency boarding fee: $3000January 5, 2026, 1:03 pm

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We are very thorough in our adoption process. The details and costs can be found on our How to Adopt page. We expect the whole family to be involved in the process.

We believe our dogs and cats should be treated as family members for their entire lives. They deserve the best we can give them and we should never give up on them. Adoption is for life!
