Phoebe

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Meet Phoebe ❤️ Phoebe is a beautiful 6–7 year old Cocker Spaniel who arrived at the Shelter in quite poor condition, with several sore hotspots needing treatment and care. Since arriving with us, Phoebe has been to the groomers, has been neutered, vaccinated and is now feeling so much better. Despite everything, Phoebe has remained a loving, affectionate and incredibly happy little girl. She’s always smiling, adores people and has a wonderfully gentle nature that makes her a joy to be around. Phoebe gets on brilliantly with other dogs and would ideally love a home with a canine companion. However, we also feel that in the right home, with plenty of love and company, she could happily live as an only dog too. She is friendly with everyone she meets, doesn’t mind cats and truly enjoys the company of both humans and dogs alike. Phoebe is now ready to find a loving forever home where she can enjoy the happy, comfortable life she truly deserves ❤️

About Phoebe

What life with Phoebe looks like

Phoebe is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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.
