That's how long Miss Phoebe has been waiting for her chance.
Phoebe came into our care on November 5, 2025, and since then she’s been patiently waiting for the right person—or rescue—to see past her stress and understand who she truly is.
Phoebe is a 3–8 year old Border Collie mix who is smart, loyal, friendly, and deeply devoted once she trusts you. She is spayed, vaccinated, and house-trained, and she has so much potential in the right environment. ❤️
However, Phoebe needs a very specific placement to succeed.
She is a true herding breed and has developed protective, overstimulated behaviours in the shelter environment. She may attempt to herd or nip unfamiliar people entering what she now views as her space. This is not aggression—it is instinct and fear in a stressful setting.
Because of this, Phoebe will need:
✨ An experienced Border Collie handler or rescue placement
✨ A calm, structured environment
✨ Slow, patient introductions to build trust safely
✨ A home with no children or dogs (cats are okay)
Once she feels safe, Phoebe’s loyal, intelligent, and affectionate personality shines through. She bonds deeply with her person and thrives when given guidance and understanding.
We know the right match is out there—someone who sees her not as a “problem,” but as a sensitive, intelligent dog who simply needs the right environment to feel secure and succeed.
Phoebe deserves her second chance. Please share to help us find her experienced foster, rescue, or forever home. 🐶💛
