Sex:  Female

Size:  Medium to Large

Color:  Black (some white, snout/neck/chest)

Spayed:  Yes

Housetrained:  Yes

Ideal Home:  Quiet – perhaps a retired or single person.  Although Phoebe is good with children, a home without children would be ideal.  Phoebe needs exercise (the attached picture is dated….Phoebe is older and chubbier now) so a home with another dog would be ideal.  Phoebe is very affectionate and looking for a loving and patient forever home.

How cute is this?

I got the pattern from www.papertreyink.com.  It is the cutest treat holder and wasn't too hard to make.
