Shelter Pup – Phoebe
Humans made a deal with canines, in prehistoric times. They promised to care for them, in exchange for unconditional love and loyalty. Dogs all stuck to the bargain. Not every human did. Phoebe, an Old English Sheepdog – Poodle, was engineered by humans to have one purpose, one ability: loving. They eliminated Phoebe’s canine survival skills. Then they abandoned her.
The poor, one-year-old, roaming Doodle was sighted for over a week. Something had happened that made Phoebe terrified. Finally, the shelter staff used a dog trap to capture her.
Once Phoebe was inside, with people who petted her and talked to her, she remembered a happier time. Phoebe is now back to being a big lovable pup. She needs someone who’ll let her be that forever.
