Meet Phoebe!
A gentle almost seven-year-old Akita/Boxer mix currently in Southington, CT, whose essence is a golden glow of warmth wrapped in soft white accents and a heart full of affection. Phoebe is the kind of companion who turns ordinary days into something special, whether she is trotting happily beside you on a car ride or lounging peacefully nearby as the day unfolds.
She has a playful spirit that shines brightest in a fenced backyard, where she can run and chase after her favorite tennis balls or proudly carry around her beloved stuffed toys. Yet inside the home, Phoebe shows her balanced nature, happily relaxing during quiet moments but always ready to spring into playtime the second you are!
Phoebe shares a beautiful connection with people of all ages, especially children. She has spent time with little ones ranging from newborns to young children and welcomes their hugs, dress-up games, and giggles with a calm and loving demeanor. Her gentle patience makes her a comforting and joyful presence in a family setting.
She already knows sit, come, and give paw, and while she has not had formal training, she is eager to continue learning through positive reinforcement. Phoebe is also comfortable being left alone for short periods and thrives on a steady routine, including her twice-daily meals.
Phoebe is in excellent health, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, house-trained, and microchipped. She is friendly with other dogs and enjoys social play, while her experience with cats is still a bit of a mystery. Loud noises like thunderstorms can make her feel timid, so a calm, reassuring environment helps her feel safe.
Phoebe is looking for a new loving home with a fenced yard and a family who will share in her playful adventures and cozy downtime. Could Phoebe be the joyful, golden-hearted companion your family has been waiting for?
