Phoebe recently came to us when her owner moved to a care home. She is a little shy, but she is a very sweet girl. Phoebe lived in a home with a cat and seems friendly with the other dogs here. She would probably do best in a quiet home without a lot of commotion. If this girl looks like a fit for you, apply today! Visit Phoebe at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
