Phoenix is a young adult who came to us very shy but with the help of an experienced foster home, he's been really coming out of his shell. He loves to engage and is playful with humans, sits pretty for treats, learning to do the down, and working on other basic commands. Oh, yes, Phoenix will need regular brushing and grooming.

Phoenix does have a bite history and tends to be a resource-guarder with humans, so he needs a very stable environment with a calm person who will need to be his leader and guide. He also had surgery recently for hip dysplasia, but is recovering well and not letting that slow him down.

Phoenix was an owner surrender and lived with a cat in his prior home - but cat introductions should be done slowly. If you are interested, please fill out an application at www.tahoewarf.org.
