More about Phoebe

Delightful little Phoebe is an absolute joy to be around - she is a happy, playful and friendly small lady who enjoys the company of people, likes to play with her soft toys and is friendly towards other dogs.

This is Phoebe's second stay at Battersea and so she is now looking for a dedicated new family who will give her the best home for the rest of her years. Phoebe is currently quite overweight, so her new owners will also need to be committed to her exercise and diet to ensure she achieves a more healthy weight. Phoebe would love to live in an all adult, calm household with owners who can take her for a couple of nice walks each day and play toys with her in the garden. Phoebe is quite social with other dogs and can offer play - she could potentially live with an interactive dog with good social skills, who will be confident to communicate to Phoebe if she is being too pushy or rude! Phoebe could also potentially live with a confident cat who is used to dogs, as long as her new owners follow all advice with regards to introducing her.

Phoebe will need some house training in her new home, so a private garden would be beneficial for this. She is also not used to being left alone for very long, nor did she is enjoy very much when her owners did go out, so she will ideally need owners who can be around with her for the majority of the time and gradually teach her that being alone can be a positive experience. She may do well with those who work from home, or who have a quiet office she can attend with them.

Phoebe was very overgrown and matted when she came into our care. Due to her coat type, she will need dedicated owners who understand the importance of maintaining her coat properly, brushing her everyday. They will need to factor in the financial responsibility of monthly trips to the groomer to keep her coat and skin in good condition and prevent her from becoming uncomfortable, matted or suffering from skin infections.
