Meet Phoebe

Meet Phoebe — 99 Pounds of Sweetness Phoebe is a 5-year-old girl with a big body, a soft expression and, according to the person who knows her best, a very sweet personality. Phoebe Has a Fan Club If the dogs in playgroup got to vote for Miss Congeniality, Phoebe might just win. When Phoebe enters the yard, the other dogs seem to want her attention—and the feeling is mutual. This 5-year-old, 99-pound girl lights up around her canine friends. She is a social, active player who happily joins the fun and is remarkably tolerant of the different personalities and play styles around her. Watching her in a group has shown us another side of a dog we already knew was pretty special. Phoebe recently came to the shelter after living in a home, and her owner left us some wonderful information about her. She is housetrained, loves people and is friendly with visitors. She enjoys being petted all over and likes to play with balls and squeaky toys. She’s also accustomed to going for walks and even enjoys swimming! Her previous home included a cat, and her owner reported that the two got along after a while. She had not lived with other dogs in that home. At 99 pounds, Phoebe has a little extra Phoebe to love right now, and getting back to a healthier weight would be good for her. Fortunately, she already enjoys walks, so perhaps her new person can help her work toward that goal one stroll at a time. Phoebe isn't a mystery dog whose personality still has to be discovered. She has been someone's companion. She knows what it is to live in a home, have a routine and belong to someone. Now she needs the chance to have that again. Come meet this big, sweet girl and see if Phoebe belongs with you. Phoebe — ID# 61455602 5 years old | 99 pounds Citrus County Animal Services 4030 S. Airport Rd., Inverness, FL
