My name is Phoebe!

Phoebe is a darling little Maltese/Yorkie mix who is about 8 years old and weighs approximately 11 pounds.   She's sweet and loving and has a calm, quiet demeanor.  Phebe has been owned by a loving couple for over two years, but due to health issues is no longer able to keep her.  Phoebe loves to be pet but is not a velcroe dog and is perfectly fine sleeping in her own dog bed.  She loves her walks and gives the squirrels a run for their money.  Phoebe is great in a car and has even been on plane rides and is well-behaved.  She's housebroken and crate trained.  She gets along with other dogs but prefers mellow ones who aren't pushy.   Phoebe can be shy and nervous around strangers however she quickly relaxes with some kind words and slow gentle pets on her back while bending down to her level.   Small loud kids make her nervous (me too!) however older considerate kids are fine.  Her preference is definitely adults.  Phoebe can be a door-dasher in environments she doesn't know so but she loves hanging out in the yard and chasing squirrels.  A secure fenced yard is required.  Phoebe does best on a diet of Duck or Vension as Chicken, Turkey and Beef make her itch.   This precious little girl has been loved and cared for by her guardians who unfortunately can no longer care for her.  If you're interested in this special cutie please fill out the adoption application on bichonsandbuddies.com.
