Meet Phoebe – Your Loyal, Loving, and Fiercely Devoted Companion!
Phoebe is about 3 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventions. She’s had a bit of tough luck in the past—not because she’s done anything wrong, but because she hasn’t yet found her perfect match. Much like anyone who's been through a rough breakup, Phoebe just needs someone who truly understands her heart.
She’s a classic Cattle Dog—smart, strong-willed, and deeply loyal. She’s "a lot of dog" in the best possible way and thrives with structure, routine, and a person who gets her driven, loving nature. If you’re experienced with the breed, you’ll see what a total gem she is.
Phoebe may take a couple of days to settle into new surroundings—she can be a little tense at first. But once she learns the rhythm of her new home, she blossoms into the best girl. In her foster home, she’s been fantastic with kids and has settled beautifully into a busy household. She takes her yard patrol duties seriously and loves a good job to do.
When it’s time to relax? Bring on the belly rubs! She melts with affection and adores being loved on. She did lose a few teeth in a previous home, but it hasn’t affected her one bit—she happily munches dry kibble like a pro.
Phoebe is ready for someone who truly sees her. If you're a Cattle Dog-savvy human ready for a fiercely loyal companion, this girl is waiting to make your heart her home. Go ahead and submit an adoption application for her now!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
