Phoebe's Story

Hi, I'm Phoebe-a 63-pound Terrier mix with a heart full of love, even if I need a little extra time to show it. <br/><br/>I get pretty nervous in new situations and around unfamiliar faces, so I really appreciate it when people go slow with me. If you talk to me in a gentle baby voice and offer me some tasty treats, I'll start to feel more at ease. <br/><br/>It helps a lot when you get down on my level and let me come to you when I'm ready. Once I know you're safe, I'll melt into your arms with big, sloppy kisses and lean in for all the butt scratches I can get! <br/><br/>Even though I'm cautious by nature, I have a playful side that shines when I'm feeling comfortable. I absolutely love to play fetch and I'll even bring the ball back-yep, I've got skills! I know my name and will perk right up when you call me, especially if I know you're someone I can trust. <br/><br/>With patience, kindness, and a quiet space to feel secure, I know I'll blossom into your loyal best friend. I'm just looking for someone who understands that building trust takes time, but the reward is a deep and loving bond that's totally worth it.

Humane Society of The Black Hills's Adoption Policy
The adoption process may take up to one hour to complete but we’ll keep it as simple and streamlined as possible. Here are the steps when you’re considering adopting a pet: - Visit our website to see available animals or see them on-site during regular hours, seven days a week. - When you find a dog, cat or small animal you would like to spend more time with, simply call the Humane Society of the Black Hills at (605) 394-4170 for an appointment. - Occasionally, our team is able to accommodate walk-ins, but as we cannot guarantee them, it is best to call for an appointment. -During your scheduled appointment, an adoption advisor will review the animal's history with you and bring the animal to meet you for an initial visit. - A second appointment may be made for you for a variety of reasons (Ex. You have a dog at home you'd like to bring in to meet the pet next). -Once you have met a pet that you think is your perfect match and you have been approved to adopt, your adoption advisor will take you through the adoption process, and you can take your new family member home!
