About This Dog

Phoenix's ideal home

Meet Phoenix, a handsome 1-year old Crossbreed who is looking for his forever home! Phoenix is a super worried little lad but finds a lot of comfort in his doggy friends. For this reason, Phoenix must be rehomed with a confident, resident dog that is able to show him the ropes. He could also be rehomed with his friend, Unicorn, who he was brought into the centre with.
Any children in the home will nee to be 16yrs+ as he does need time to come round on his own terms. Phoenix is a really sweet boy, and will approach for fusses once he's comfortable. He will need patient, understanding owners that are happy and understand that he will take some time to build confidence in a new environment.
We can't wait to see Phoenix (and his new bestie) lapping up all the love he deserves!

Could you be Phoenix's perfect match?

Phoenix is a worried boy at first, but comes around quickly when able to follow in the steps of his more confident brothers. Once he feels safe with you he is happy to approach you for a fuss. When he's in a paddock with his brothers he loves to run around and play with his toys, gets very excited and is such fun to be around!
Phoenix hasn't been walked on a lead prior to coming into our care, so any adopters would need to be willing to work on the basics with him such as lead-walking and toilet-training.

He is a sweet angel who just needs a bit of patience and time to come around! Gizmo is a bit fan of chicken, so this is a great aid in making friends and any training he may need.

...dog in the home, although he tends to ignore other dogs when out and about. He could potentially live with cats, as he has previously met them and shown little interest. Frankie was brought to us because he was being left alone for extended periods (around 6–9 hours), which he struggled to cope with. He can find being left difficult and may vocalise when alone, so he...
