Meet Phoenix, a large, adult Labrador Retriever and Great Pyrenees mix who is a big, sweet, loyal lovebug that truly just wants to be close to his people. He’s incredibly affectionate, attentive, and always looking for love and reassurance. With his Lab and Great Pyrenees background, he really is the best of both worlds, a gentle giant with a loving, people-focused personality.
In his previous life, Phoenix had a reputation for wandering and was often on the loose. Since coming into rescue and getting neutered, he has shown just how much he wants stability and connection. Now, he will paw at the door to come back inside after only a few minutes because what he really wants is to be right where he belongs, with you. Phoenix is a well-rounded, easy companion. He walks nicely on leash, does well in the car, and is comfortable in public settings. He is very handler-focused, non-reactive, and friendly with everyone he meets. He happily approaches people for pets and truly enjoys attention. He takes treats very gently and has a calm, soft way about him. More than anything, Phoenix just wants to be next to you, soaking up attention and being part of whatever you are doing. He does great with both large and small dogs and has adapted well to city life. Phoenix is eager to learn and eager to please. He already knows several commands including sit, shake, down, spin, and turn. He is highly motivated, especially when a Kong is involved, and would thrive in a home that enjoys engaging with their dog. Phoenix is the kind of dog who wants to be your shadow. Wherever you are, that is where he wants to be too. He would do best in a home looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who wants to include him in everyday life. If you are looking for a loving, devoted best friend, Phoenix may be your perfect match.
