Meet Phoebe – The Loyal, Loving Red Heeler Ready to Steal Your Heart!
If you're looking for a best friend who’s smart, devoted, and full of personality, Phoebe is your girl.
Phoebe is a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler)/Terrier mix who has all the qualities people love about this incredible breed. She’s intelligent, alert, affectionate, and loyal to the core. She's spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions.
Phoebe is crate trained, house trained, and thrives in a structured environment. She enjoys routine and will often put herself to bed in her crate if she sees you reach for the milkbone box. She’s been living in a foster home with kids, cats, and other dogs. While she can be selective with new dog friends, she does great with proper introductions, especially with non-dominant dogs.
This girl is an athlete at heart with a strong prey drive (squirrels beware), but she’s also happy to relax nearby, soaking in the sounds of a busy household or watching the world go by from a comfy crate. She is smart as a whip, deeply loyal, and follows the rules beautifully once she knows you’re the leader.
As her foster mom, I can tell you Phoebe is an amazing companion. She is quiet in her crate, gets along great with my dogs, and adores my kids. Her previous returns were not her fault. She just needs someone who understands the heart and drive of a Cattle Dog. She is truly a gem who wants nothing more than to be someone’s forever sidekick.
Phoebe would thrive in a home that can offer her routine, gentle leadership, and a little time to adjust. If you can offer that, she will repay you tenfold with loyalty, love, and lifelong friendship.

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...
