Magic Johnson

Magic was found as a stray and was clearly overwhelmed by the experience. Being out on his own was scary, and when he was startled by a finder picking him up, he nipped. He also had a brief tiff with a neighbor dog. But once he was safely inside, his personality quickly changed. His finder said Magic was calm, friendly, and wonderfully nice in the house.<br/><br/>The busy Maricopa County shelter was also a frightening place for this sensitive boy, and he was e-listed for behavior. But Magic has been terrific since arriving at Home Fur Good! He is a sweet boy who walks nicely on a leash and loves his stuffy toys. And then there’s his best trick: Magic can sit straight up like a giant meerkat!<br/><br/>Magic has a cyst on his neck that was partially drained and is being monitored. His adopters will simply need to keep an eye on it for a couple of weeks to make sure it continues to go down. Because of the location of the cyst, Magic must currently be walked using a harness.<br/><br/>We’re still getting to know Magic when it comes to other dogs and will be working on calm introductions. If he has a canine sibling waiting at home, a meet-and-greet will be the best way to make sure everyone is a good match.<br/><br/>Magic’s story is a wonderful reminder that fear doesn’t always tell you who a dog really is. Give this boy a little understanding and a chance to feel safe, and you get to see the sweet, playful companion underneath. We think there’s a whole lot of magic in Magic!<br/><br/>Magic’s adoption fee is $250 and includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital.<br/><br/>Ready to meet this special boy? Please call 602-971-1334 to schedule an appointment. You can also visit Home Fur Good Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for walk-ins.
