Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR Welcomes PHOENIX into the safety of the rescue!!
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT
**************
Hiya! My name is Phoenix and I'm a super loving and handsome 1.5yr male sable German Shepherd. I am in a great foster home near Nashville, Tennessee and am available for transport to my forever home!
I was rescued from a pretty awful situation. I was severely under weight and had some skin conditions BUT now that I've been loved, cared for, treated with some medicine, I am well on my way to being a completely healthy pup! You may notice my hair is a little thin in some places but don't worry, it is coming back in!
I am a total sweetheart according to my foster mom. I play great with both nice males and females, I love being outside, and my favorite toys are a jolly-ball, moose antlers, and rope toys to play tug! I can bring balls back to you, I think its called fetch, but I'm not obsessed with balls. I love to explore in the backyard and would love to go on some adventures.
Since I'm still a young pup, I would greatly benefit from obedience training. This will help us bond and prove that I'm the smartest and bestest boy around!
If you are looking for a resilient, loving, sweet, energetic, friendly, and overall amazing new companion - I'm your guy! I can't wait to meet you!
