Phoebe

My story

Phoebe is a darling little Maltese/Yorkie mix who is about 8 years old and weighs approximately 11 lbs. She's sweet and loving and has a calm, quiet demeanor. Phoebe loves to be petted but is not a "velcro" dog and is perfectly fine sleeping in her own dog bed if that's what you prefer. This precious little girl has been very well cared for by a loving couple, but due to their health issues they are no longer able to keep her. She loves her walks and gives the squirrels a run for their money! Phoebe is great in the car and has even been on plane rides and is well-behaved. She's housetrained and crate trained. She gets along fine 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 while bending down to her level. Small or 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 unfamiliar environments, so making sure your yard is secure and doors aren't accidentally left open is important. She likes hanging out in the yard and chasing the squirrels, so a secure fenced yard is required. Phoebe does best on a diet of Duck or Venison. Chicken, Turkey and Beef make her itch.
