My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Phoenix, he is beautiful 3 year old house hippo that doesn't mind dressing up in Rubber Ducky pajamas. Phoenix recently lost his home, no fault of his own however this has left him interviewing new humans. He is house trained, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. He will walk on a leash but is strong in the beginning pulling, but eventually settles in. He does fine being left for 8 hours while his foster mom works and keeps his crate clean. He is too interested in cats, so we are looking for a home with no cats or small animals. Because of his blocky headed breed, we will require you to own your home, no rentals as we don't want him to wind up homeless again.



Phoenix's $300 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test and prevention, flea/tick prevention, and microchip registration. You can apply at  https://gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/
