To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: ~ 5 years (as of 1/14/24) Weight: 66 lbs (as of 1/14/24) Location: RI Phoenix is available for adoption to Massachusetts residents, as well as those in the other New England states. This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Phoenix, an adult dog with a heart as big as his personality. This sweet, friendly, and happy goofball is known for his gentle nature and smart antics that never fail to bring a smile. He's a big ole Teddy Bear, full of love and affection for people. Boy does he love people!! Phoenix is house trained, crate trained, and walks great on the leash but can pull. He rides great in the car and enjoys it, as well as meeting new people and going new places. He'd love to go everywhere with you. Phoenix is playful and enjoys recall games, making him a fun companion. He is dog selective, which means he doesn't enjoy interacting with every dog he meets, so he be easiest placed as the only dog in a home. Phoenix's intelligence, combined with his loving and playful nature, makes him an ideal friend for us humans. A fenced yard would be ideal so he could run and play safely, but if that's not available he will enjoy occasional leash walks and opportunities for off-leash play in a fenced area. He is a smart boy and basic group training classes is recommended to help him learn new commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and entertaining companion, Phoenix is your perfect match. Adopt Phoenix and let his sweet, playful spirit bring joy into your life. Phoenix’s Story: His previous owner lived in car with him and was in and out of relatives' homes and her car for 3 years. When she went to jail, he was surrendered and has been waiting ever since! He is now living with a loving foster and doing great! Medical Note: Phoenix deve loped a mass on his chest around the site of a wound received from another dog in November 2023. The mass was surgically removed on 2/1/24. A biopsy confirmed most likely benign panniculitis resulting from an infection at the wound site. Surgery should be curative. The dog continues to heal from the surgery and no further medical treatment is recommended except for continued monitoring of the surgical site through March/April until fully healed. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor. May 5, 2024, 5:32 pm
