About Phoenix
Phoenix has proven herself a survivor with a spirit that's tough and vibrant. She arrived at the rescue with Cerebellar Hypoplasia after a rough start, having suffered from severe neglect. It took a couple of months of steady veterinary care and patience, but Phoenix bounced back and is now eager for a home that values both her quirks and her will to live. Her neurological condition means her coordination and balance can be off, especially on slick floors and when first getting up, but she doesn't let that slow her down. Once she's up, she's quick and lively—just keep rugs around and be ready to lend a hand with steps. Her size is small, but her personality fills the room. At 6 years old, Phoenix is a Russell Parsons mix who gets along with most dogs after proper introductions. For her safety, she'll need a securely fenced yard to roam. She can't live with cats or feathered animals, but she'll keep you busy enough. Thanks to her foster mom's background in animal behavior, Phoenix's future adopter gets a long-term ally to help ease any anxiety-driven quirks. The love and spirit this dog brings are worth the care she needs. Your new best friend is just one click away.
