Adopt Phoebe

Female · Puppy · 18 months

Phoebe is a very friendly, little lady with a wonderful personality. She arrived into our care as a stray requiring some veterinary treatment for her skin and ears. After responding well to her treatment she is now ready to start looking for her forever home. She is looking for a home with a secure, private back garden where she can mooch around, explore and sniff everything possible. Phoebe absolutely adores her people and will want to be part of your family, she is like a little shadow and will choose to curl up at your feet rather than take herself off to her bed! She will be your ever loving ride-or-die companion! Phoebe is on a strict sensitive diet and takes medication daily to help with a skin condition that she came in with. She has flourished whilst on this medication and is doing really well. To keep her itchiness to a minimum she will need to continue on this diet and medication but discussions with your own vet can manage this going forward. She loves going on walks and will benefit from 1-2 walks per day, they don’t need to be long but she will enjoy getting out the house to sniff around and explore, she loves to take her time and pootle about. She walks well on the lead and has shown to be friendly towards all people she has met. She can be worried by loud or sudden noises but with a little reassurance she becomes comfortable. This does mean that she would prefer a quieter area to go for her walks with not too much heavy traffic. Phoebe has shown some mixed feelings around dogs, she has been worried and vocal towards some on walks but has also walked past some with no issues, we expect she will need some further socialisation with calm dogs on walks to build confidence. Phoebe can live with sensible children aged 13+ and does enjoy being a complete part of the family. She is a snuggle bug and will do anything she can to curl up in your lap and soak up all the attention she can get her little paws on. She is playful and will bring you the biggest soft toy that she can fit into her mouth to show you just how excited she is.

About Phoebe

What life with Phoebe looks like

Phoebe is a small puppy/kitten dog waiting at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre in Bristol.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

Note from the shelter: Requires daily medication and strict sensitive diet for ongoing skin condition

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Phoebe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Phoebe?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bristol Animal Rescue Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Phoebe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Phoebe if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bristol Animal Rescue Centre will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Phoebe already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Phoebe isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bristol Animal Rescue Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Phoebe and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
