Bebe

It’s time for Bebe to leave foster care & move into a permanent home to receive palliative care.

Her current (amazing) carer writes the following description:

“Phoebe is a beautiful, easy-going older lady enjoying her golden years. They say change is harder the older you get, but Phoebe has proven to be incredibly adaptable and seems happy to embrace new things. Despite her age, she loves a few walks each day, she can pick up quite a pace some days, and if the mood takes her, she can also break into a delightful trot.

She also loves sniffing, eating anything, and sleeping! She is quite interested in dogs that are a similar size to her or smaller and is happy to say hello if they aren’t too boisterous.

Larger dogs towering over her or pushing her around might get a subtle warning, though.

Phoebe needs free access to an outdoor area as she doesn’t have great bladder control, dog door training is a work in progress, her little legs need one very close to the ground. In addition to her abdominal issues, I am not sure her hearing is great. I’ve been getting in, out and around the house without her waking up. When she is awake though she is my little shadow, she doesn’t like to miss out on anything, particularly when food is involved.

She either doesn’t know her name or doesn’t have good recall, but she responds to hand signals and is good at coming to you as long as your in her sight.

When I have been further from her I feel as if she can’t see me. If she is in full Beagle mode though, you’ve got no chance of getting her attention, luckily she isn’t very fast! She likes snuggles and belly rubs, but often can’t cuddle for too long as she get hot and wants a cooler spot.”
