Adoption information
About Phoebe
Meet Phoebe, an enchanting young Golden Retriever with a heart of gold and a sweet, gentle demeanor. This lovely lady, born in June 2025, is approximately 22 kg of pure love and loyalty. While Phoebe might exhibit a bit of reserve when first meeting new people, particularly men, she is incredibly sweet and eager to please once she feels comfortable in her environment.
Phoebe boasts impeccable manners, displaying her polite nature when walking on a leash and accepting treats gently. While she has a touch of excitement that may lead to an occasional jump, she is diligently learning the art of composed greetings. Her social skills extend to all creatures—dogs and cats alike. Ever the explorer, Phoebe thinks closed doors are a mere suggestion, but she's mastered the dog door with aplomb. Whether engaged in a spirited game of fetch or snuggling up for a cozy movie night, Phoebe strikes the perfect balance between play and relaxation.
Phoebe's curious nature may lead her to explore a dirt patch or two, showcasing her digging talents, and she carries a few of her puppy tendencies, such as the delight of an occasional chew. She is not a fan of loud, unexpected noises—like many of her breed, she finds thunder a bit unsettling but not overwhelmingly so. Providing comfort during these times seems to work quite well for her. Although she has an incontinence issue, a waterproof bed can ensure comfort and cleanliness while she naps.
With Phoebe in your life, you're looking at a harmonious combination of gentle companionship, amusing antics, and lifelong friendship. If you seek a companion who will brighten up both your quiet and adventurous moments, Phoebe could be the perfect match for your family.
Medical notes
Phoebe has urinary incontinence. She has been on medication for a while now which has helped alot. She now seems to only leak a little at night. A waterproof bed would help with this.
Adoption details
Our adoption process is easy. You will receive a application for the animals you are interested in. Please full that in and send it back to us.
Even though you may be first to message, this does not always guarantee you will be chosen to adopt. By no means do we run on a "first in, first served basis". We aim to ensure that our animals are adopted into the most suitable home for them and the new family.
With all our animals, we go on what our vet has told us and what we believe the breed and age to be. We never guarantee the breed or age but take the best educated guess.
Please note: Our shelter is located in the Snowy Mountains. We are a 5 hour drive from Sydney and Melbourne and 2 to 3 hours from Canberra.
