Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Bowling Green, Ohio

PHOEBE was brought to the shelter as a stray, so nothing is known about her background.

PHOEBE is a young girl, estimated to be 1 - 1 1/2 years old, weighs 53 lbs, has had her DA2PP and bordetella vaccines and is listed as a shepherd mix. PHOEBE is not yet spayed, but she is on the waiting list at the vet. If PHOEBE is not spayed prior to adoption, her adoption fee includes a $75 voucher to be used toward her spay surgery at the vet of your choice.

PHOEBE is a really nice girl, she is very sweet, loves people and walks nicely on a leash and seems to know a few simple commands.

It is difficult to tell in the shelter setting whether or not a dog is housebroken, so it is best to assume they are not and be pleasantly surprised if they are!

PHOEBE has been fine around the other dogs at the shelter but nothing is known about how she is with kids or cats since there are neither there. Please bring your kids, dog(s), and even your cat(s), if possible, to the shelter for a meet and greet with the help of the warden or deputies just to be sure everyone gets along before taking PHOEBE home!
