Hi I’m Phoebe! I’m a spunky, strong willed lady with lots of love and even more personality!

Before applying for me, you should know 👉🏼 I was born with a rare condition which caused constant urinary leakage. I underwent corrective surgery, which was largely successful, but there are still a few aspects of my care worth mentioning. Because I leaked continuously during the first four months of my life, I essentially began potty training after my surgery. As a result, I still have the occasional accident, but I am making great progress with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I do also have some leakage that still occurs when I’m relaxed or while I sleep. This likely means I need to be on medication for most, if not all of my life to help with this. I have a follow-up appointment next month to monitor my recovery and evaluate this further. The humans are happy to answer any more in depth questions you may have on my care and what the next steps are. Now that the boring stuff is out of the way…

Like Phoebe Buffay, I’m one of a kind and guaranteed to keep life interesting! I’m equal parts clever, goofy, and determined, with a dash of stubbornness that keeps my humans on their toes. Because I’m a smart cookie, I would do best with a family that understands the importance of consistency, structure, and positive training. Give me a job to do, new things to learn, and plenty of enrichment, and I’ll absolutely shine. Leave me to create my own fun, though, and I may decide to invent activities that aren’t quite human-approved. 🙃

Adventure is my favorite word! Car rides? Count me in. Walks? Absolutely. Exploring new places, sniffing new smells, and tagging along for whatever the day brings? That’s my kind of lifestyle. I’m happiest when I get to be part of the action and spend time with my people. I LOVE digging and getting as filthy as possible while having fun. Toss a ball my way and I’ll happily play fetch for hours! Oh, and I’m also a known sock thief 🧦

I’m friendly with both dogs and humans, although I can be a little shy when meeting new people at first. Once I warm up, my sweet and silly personality starts to shine through. I’m also working on my manners around other dogs—I sometimes bark when I see them because I get excited and have opinions to share. Speaking of opinions… I’m a pretty chatty girl in general! I like to keep the conversation going and make sure everyone knows exactly what’s on my mind.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, intelligent companion with a big personality, an adventurous spirit, and plenty of love to give, I just might be your perfect match! After all, as Phoebe Buffay would say, maybe my lobster is out there reading this right now. 🦞❤️
