My story

Meet Phoebe. This tiny little nugget was left behind with her buddy, Little Bit, when their owners were evicted from their trailer park home. A kind neighbor took them in and cared for them for a few weeks while trying to find a safe place for them, eventually reaching out to our rescue for help. Now in foster care, Phoebe is getting the care and nurturing she’s always deserved. She’s living with two small dogs and a cat, and does well as part of a pack. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a calm canine companion. She has a very laidback energy and will play with toys, but is not much of a rough-and-tumble player. Phoebe is more of a quiet buddy who prefers a peaceful vibe and soft surroundings. Though timid at first, it only took Phoebe a few days to come out of her shell. Now, she greets her foster mom with tail wags and happy kisses. She’s potty-trained, crate-trained, and does well when left in a gated area with a cozy bed and blanket. This little girl knows how to relax and entertain herself. Phoebe’s foster mom describes her as a low-energy couch potato who is happiest curled up on your lap or snuggled into a pile of blankets. She’s a world-class cuddler who loves chest naps, sunbathing on the patio, and cozy dog beds. She’s still adjusting to the great outdoors and doesn’t love long walks just yet. We suspect she had limited exposure to the outside world in her previous life, but with time and reassurance, she’s gaining confidence. She’ll alert you when the mail comes or neighbors are nearby, but she settles quickly with a gentle word. Phoebe is ready for her next chapter, a forever home filled with love, softness, and stability. She’d thrive in a calm environment with a loving lap to curl up on, soft blankets to burrow into, and a canine pal to keep her company. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Chihuahua GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  5 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 3 years old COAT TYPE: Short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425.00 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spyaed/microchipped LOCATION:  Rock Hill, SC - Coming to DC Metro on 8/30   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. August 12, 2025, 12:47 am
