Story

Hi there, I’m Phoebe! I’m 15 years old, 25 pounds, and a gentle soul looking for a patient and understanding forever home. I thrive in calm and quiet environments, and I’d do best with one or two older women who can provide me the time and space I need to feel safe. I’m a shy girl, and it may take me weeks—sometimes months—to come out of hiding willingly. With love and patience, I’ll start to follow you around and keep an eye on where you are. I’ve made great progress in my foster home, but I’ll need someone experienced and willing to help me continue to build my confidence. A few things to know about me: Men make me nervous: I’m not comfortable around men and may react strongly to them, so I need a home where this can be managed. I’m vocal: While I love to let my voice be heard, my foster mom has worked with me, and I’m learning to quiet down after a reminder or two. I’m house trained: I know my manners and enjoy being part of a peaceful household. I’m independent yet affectionate: Once I trust you, I’ll happily share my gentle heart and enjoy cuddles by your side. My favorite activities include lounging in my cozy bed, keeping close to my foster grandma, and exploring the backyard at my own pace. I’m searching for someone special who understands that good things take time. If you’re ready to open your heart to a quiet, loving companion who just needs a little patience, I might be the perfect match for you. If you know that I am your forever pup, please fill out an adoption application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application. Don't forget to put my NAME on your application!If you cannot adopt me but would like to help DARE pay for my care before I am adopted by my forever family, donate online at https://daretorescue.org/donation or send a check made payable to DARE to:DAREPO Box 21161Tampa, FL 32210 Even if you do not see a dog that matches what you're looking for, you may fill out a no obligation application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application and we will work to find a match for you. We receive dogs into foster care frequently, so it is impossible to have every available or soon-to-be-available dog on the website.October 20, 2025, 10:02 am

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I got her in New Mexico with my boyfriend at the time, when she was eight weeks old. then three months later I had to pack everything up and move back to Florida with my mom due to domestic abuse. I tried to keep her but I'm unable to keep her any longer. My mom's German Shepherd doesn't like her and we've tried to get them use to each other. but nothing has helped. its hard to keep them separated, and unfair that one or the other has to be locked up while the other is out. She needs a home that she can be out and able to play with either other dogs or kids. I'm unable to give her what she needs at the time and just want a good home that can give her what she needs. She's ten months old, and is very sweet, hyper, and playful. she does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. she loves walks and being able to run. She's doesn't like water, due to not being around it much. She loves to cuddle and sleep next to her person at the end of the bed.

Ronin is a very energetic boy and loves to play! He is crate trained and does well in it. He loves to play fetch but is still learning how to give you the ball lol. He enjoys walking outside and has fun at doggy parks. He is microchipped and fully vaccinated! He is about 8 months old and has been socialized with other dogs (including adult dogs) since he was 3 months old, he loves to play with other doggies! He gets along well with our 9 month old cat too. He does have a chicken allergy and is on a gentle diet. He will come with everything you need including a crate, harness, leash, collar, supplements, and plenty of toys. We cannot keep him anymore after losing an income. We love him and know there is a better life for him out there, our last resort is surrendering him to a shelter.
