Phoenix

* High energy boy that likes to talk about his day * Would love to find an active owner that keeps him busy * Toys are his favorite, will chase and then bring back for another toss * Already knows a couple commands- sit and shake * Smart cookie that is eager to learn more if you'll teach him * Friendly and social meeting new people- does jump up when excited * Seems to be a bit unsocialized meeting other dogs * Pulls toward them, is very vocal, and unsure about what to do * Greeted some dogs appropriately and wanted to play- but then changed his mind and was defensive at second meeting with the same dog * Would likely prefer to be the only dog in the home * If he were to have siblings, it would take an experienced owner with a very slow introduction * Curious of cats and tolerated swats from them * Does have separation anxiety and will require a heavy duty "jail cell" type crate in his new home * Would prefer a home with older children Phoenix Shepherd mix Male DOB: 12/19/2022 Weight: 65 lbs.
