A little about them
Phoenix is a playful, loyal, and affectionate young dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Weighing about 74 pounds, he is happiest with his people and a trusted dog companion. Phoenix is high-energy and loves to run, play, and explore.
Ideal Home
Phoenix would thrive in an active home with another dog of similar size and energy. He enjoys playing with dogs he knows, including his buddy Apollo, but is curious and reserved with unfamiliar dogs and needs time to adjust. He is not a fan of dog parks or daycare and prefers personal space.
He is friendly, gentle, and playful with children. Phoenix does not like being alone for long periods and does best when another dog is home. Daily exercise, continued socialization, structure, and mental stimulation will help him stay happy and confident.
Ongoing Health
No medical conditions or health concerns are described.
Training & Support
Phoenix is fully house trained and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate at night and may nap in another dog’s crate during the day. He walks well and is easy to control, though he may pull at times. He has no food aggression and does well with toys and treats; his favorite toy is a squirrel.
