Looking for a handsome, housebroken hunk with a heart of gold? Meet Fenix, a 4-year-old blue-coated boy with a zest for life and a serious love for snuggles!
At around 70–75 pounds, Fenix is a velcro dog in the best way—he’ll stick by your side, soak up all the pets, and be your biggest fan. He’s got the basics down pat: sit, down, off, shake—and he’s working on perfecting his leash manners (he just gets so excited to see the world!). He’s also a grass connoisseur… yep, he likes a little salad on his walks. 🌿
He’s got a high prey drive and a big personality, so he’ll thrive with an active adopter who can keep him mentally and physically engaged. A home with small pets like cats or tiny dogs may be too tempting for his prey drive, but he’d love to have one or two larger, playful dog buddies to romp around with!
Fenix has made great strides with leash manners and reactivity since arriving in foster care. The world can be a bit overstimulating for him, but with continued guidance, he’s learning to stay calm and focused.
💬 A note from his foster: “He’s come a long way and is such a sweet, loving dog. He just needs the right environment to shine.”
Fenix was involved in an unfortunate incident where a child was accidentally injured during a moment of startled contact. It was not an act of aggression, but rather a reaction to being surprised in a high-stress situation. Since then, he’s shown no signs of biting behavior and has been nothing but gentle and affectionate in his foster home. Out of an abundance of caution, Fenix will do best in an adult-only home with someone experienced in reading dog body language and committed to helping him continue to thrive.
