He’s calm, affectionate, and loves attention, while still enjoying his independence.<br/><br/>He already knows several cues like sit, down, shake a paw, and even roll over, and he takes treats gently—making him a pleasure to work with. He responds beautifully to positive reinforcement and is eager to bond with his person 💛<br/><br/>Because of his age and sensitive nature, he can be a little unsure at first—but with patience and consistency, his confidence continues to grow.<br/><br/>👨👩👧 Social Skills<br/>• Very sweet and social once comfortable<br/>• Loves women (men unknown)<br/>• Best suited for an adult-only home<br/>• Would do best with experienced dog owners<br/><br/>🐾 Other Animals<br/>• Can live with another calm, well-matched dog with proper introductions and time<br/>• May initially show tension (growling or baring teeth) until he feels safe<br/>• Could also do well as the only dog<br/>• Not suitable for homes with cats<br/><br/>🍽 The Basics<br/>✔️ Neutered (recent dental with some teeth removed)<br/>✔️ Takes treats gently and allows handling of food<br/>✔️ Can hold it overnight (housetraining progressing well)<br/>✔️ Prefers kibble but can eat a mix of kibble and soft food<br/><br/>🚗 Loves car rides and jumps right in—ready for his next adventure!<br/><br/>🏡 Home Needs<br/>Phoenix is looking for a very specific home where he can feel safe and supported:<br/><br/>• Calm, quiet environment 🏡<br/>• Adult-only household<br/>• Experienced dog owner (breed knowledge preferred)<br/>• Daily on-leash walks (no off-leash parks) 🚶♀️<br/>• Securely fenced yard (6 ft recommended) or structured condo/apartment living<br/>• Commitment to a food-based bonding program (including hand-feeding)<br/>• Willingness to continue training (private training may be recommended)<br/><br/>He may be a flight risk, so secure handling and leash use are essential at all times outdoors.<br/><br/>💛 The Right Home<br/>Phoenix is a truly special senior who will reward the right person with quiet companionship, loyalty, and trust.
