Meet the one and only Phoenix! 🌟 This dashing 9-and-a-half-year-old Rottie-Dobie mix is here to steal your heart! After losing his previous foster home (through no fault of his own, mind you 😢), this handsome boy is hoping to find a loving foster or forever home where he can finally settle in and show off his snuggling skills! Phoenix has been around the block—literally! He was a favorite at the shelter and is now patiently waiting, wagging his tail and dreaming of a life filled with walks, hikes, and all the love he can give. Weighing in at a robust 80 lbs, don’t let his age fool you; this gentleman is packed with energy and affection! Whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or cozying up on the couch, he’s ready to be your devoted companion. 🐾❤️ Now, let’s talk about his personality! Phoenix walks like a pro on a leash (no tug-of-war here!), is loyal as a best friend should be, and offers love that is simply unmatched. While he’s not a fan of barking unless necessary, he is a bit protective of his loved ones and home—which, let’s be honest, can be quite reassuring! 😌 He gets along well with dogs he knows, especially his girlfriend Darla, who is a lovely Doberman. However, he may show a little sass towards unfamiliar dogs on the leash. But with a strong leader by his side, there’s no doubt he’ll follow your lead! 🌈 With an affectionate heart and a desire to be with his favorite humans, Phoenix is ready to take on the world with you. So, if you’re an active person or family ready to shower this sweetheart with love, he’s waiting for YOU! Don’t let this furball of joy slip through your fingers—apply through the Buddy App today! 🐕✨
