Meet the incredible Phoenix! This is not just a name; it's an entire saga of resilience and triumph! 🌟 Phoenix has emerged from the ashes of a recent hoarding case where he lived with 70 other pups, deprived of human love and interaction. Imagine this brave boy enduring a fire while trapped, only to be rescued and revived with CPR and oxygen! 🚒🔥 After spending a week in critical condition at the vet, Phoenix demonstrated sheer determination to live and start anew. While he carries the scars of his past, including a charming little bobble when he's excited, it doesn't overshadow his spirit. Yes, Phoenix can feel shy and anxious in unfamiliar situations, but once he’s comfortable, he becomes a true cuddle bug. 🤗 His heart longs for the warmth of human companionship, so he's not a fan of being in kennels or closed spaces. Ideally, he dreams of a home where someone is around during the day to shower him with the affection he craves. Given his unique history, Phoenix does have some vision issues and a delightful neurologic tic that might add a bit of quirkiness to his character! As he’s getting used to this new world, he would flourish best in an environment with similarly sized dog friends, and he'd prefer to avoid larger dogs and rambunctious little ones—he can get a bit defensive if feeling threatened. Still perfecting his potty training, he needs a consistent schedule, but he’s showing great promise. 🌟 After everything he has endured, this sweet boy is bursting with love and ready for his forever home! Phoenix is fully vetted, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $150, and we proudly facilitate adoptive families through the Buddy App, which ensures everyone meets and greets with all family members, both two-legged and four-legged. 🏡❤️ Thanks to his story, he’s looking for a home with a fenced area for his safety.
