Phoebe - Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in St. Catharines, Ontario

At 5 years old, Phoebe wants nothing more in life than a forever home to call her own with humans who understand her — and she is not that hard to understand. She is a fantastic dog! ✨

It’s true, she's been through some stuff — absolutely none of it her fault — and somehow ended up homeless, not once but twice! Her life experiences have made her sometimes fearful (men on bikes, and big male dogs) and hesitant to trust (again!) — but none of it has made her a difficult dog. In fact, Phoebe is one of the happiest, friendliest, most outgoing dogs we have ever had in the group. 🐾

Phoebe responds beautifully to kindness and gentle, calm, clear communication. She has never bitten anyone or behaved aggressively, but she is learning that she doesn’t need to bark to be noticed or to jump up for affection. She is on a weight-loss program and has been walking very nicely on a harness several kilometres a day. She loves her crate and that is where she sleeps, even for naps when the crate door is open. She is calm at home and easily entertained with chew toys and bones. She isn’t fond of noise and rambunctiousness, so young kids (under 10) may make her retreat to the safety of her crate. She can be dog selective so guided introductions are a must. No cats please 🙏

Phoebe is a beautiful dog who deserves a chance to be the perfect companion for the right human 💝

To make sure we get Phoebe into the right forever home, she is available on a foster-to-adopt plan complete with guidance from a highly qualified professional who specializes in building bonds between humans and their dogs.

If you can give Phoebe the loving home she deserves, please reach out! 🏠

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
