About Phoenix
Phoenix is a resilient pittie who embodies transformation. When she arrived at the shelter, she needed significant care for chronic skin and ear infections, along with overgrown nails, but a dedicated team has helped her shine. After a month and a half of treatment, she’s blossomed from a withdrawn dog into a spirited senior ready to embrace her golden years with a loving family. She walks nicely on a leash and loves to explore during her casual sniffaris. Phoenix has shown interest in other dogs, approaching them politely and enjoying their company in the exercise yard. A new home with a similarly spirited dog might be a great match after a meet-and-greet. While we don’t have history regarding her interactions with cats or children, her gentle nature suggests she could adapt well with the right introduction. It’s important for her next adopter to commit to her ongoing care and regular vet visits to manage her chronic conditions. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation even offers a training voucher to help you connect with local positive reinforcement trainers. If you’re looking for a loyal friend to journey alongside you, Phoenix is ready to walk that path. Click apply to start the adoption process.
