Phoenix's Story
Phoenix is a giant puppy disguised as a dog. He loves everyone-especially kids-so expect kisses, cuddles, and lots of enthusiasm. He's still figuring out his big teenage-boy body and often forgets he's not actually lap-sized.<br/>He's learning his manners: he knows "sit," has great recall, and is working on loose-leash walking. He takes treats gently and is very food motivated-snacks are his love language.<br/>Phoenix's top hobbies include tug (his favorite), short rounds of fetch, and trotting around with stuffed toys or rope. He also enjoys marrow bones, snuffle mats, and food puzzles.<br/>He's a great traveler, hopping right into the car. He even walked a fashion-show runway and spent the after-party collecting belly rubs like a celebrity.<br/>Phoenix does well with other dogs and would love a playmate with similar size and energy. A fenced yard is great, but regular leash walks work too-he'll happily flop down with a toy afterward. He's also meeting cats politely and shows no interest in chasing them.<br/>Phoenix is ready for his forever home-and if you want a lovable goofball who brings joy (and the occasional giant cuddle), he might be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.
