Phoenix

Meet Phoenix!

This brave Mexi-mix has lived through more than most dogs ever will, and somehow, he is still one of the happiest boys you will meet. Phoenix was found in Ixtapa with severe burns along his back and side and an injured paw. After months of care, love, and healing, he transformed into a strong, joyful dog who adores toys, attention, and going on adventures. In 2024, Phoenix was diagnosed with subcutaneous lymphoma. While considered terminal, he has not had any new tumors since August and continues to live life with full enthusiasm. You would never guess he has cancer; he is active, healthy, and full of heart. Phoenix is a medium-energy adventure buddy who walks beautifully on leash. He loves toys, people, and exploring. He is good with dogs, though he prefers non-alpha males. Phoenix deserves to spend his days in a loving home, not a shelter. However long he has – months or years – he should spend it with someone who sees the incredible dog he is.
