About Phoenix

10/23/2026Phoenix IV is an owner surrender looking for a new home.Hi! My name is Phoenix IV! I am a beautiful 7.5 year old fawn girl that is an owner surrender due to not getting along with the other dog in the home and for everyone's safety I need to find a home of my own. I am described as friendly, smart, protective, playful, affectionate, and nervous! It should be mentioned I have some hip dysplasia, TPLO on my rear left leg, and FHO on my right rear leg, but I do not let it slow me down! I do not get along with the other dog in my home but am said to get along with other dogs at doggy daycare and boarding. I currently live with cats and we are said to get along well! Sometimes we snuggle and I like to playfully chase them off if they drink from my water. I currently live with a 14 year old kid and my owner says I would do best with older kids. When new people come in the home I will bark at them because I am protective of my humans. I am house trained, crate trained, eat Royal Canin Boxer food, and sleep on the couch or human bed at night. If the humans must be away, I have learned to calm myself and will mostly sleep awaiting their arrival. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. When scolded I cower and get very scared so positive reinforcement works great for me! I'm fearful of thunderstorms and I do need anxiety meds when experiencing new things or during stressful situations. I love riding in the car, greenies, bully sticks, belly and neck scratches, following the humans around when cleaning or doing yardwork, and staring at the humans intensely until they give in to what I want! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and give them my name because I am waiting to meet you!
