Phoenix
I’ll give you one more reason to look forward to coming home.
What I'm like
Phoenix is a gentle, cheerful boy who happily trots over to greet people with a big smile. He enjoys relaxed walks, a familiar routine and spending time close to the people he loves. He would thrive as the only pet in a calm home where he can enjoy plenty of companionship.
My story
“Hi, I'm Phoenix!
I once lived in a foster home, so I'm already familiar with family life. Home routines, daily walks and simply sharing everyday moments with the people I love all feel wonderfully familiar to me.
If you asked me about my favourite part of the day, it would always be welcoming my family home. The moment I hear familiar footsteps or the front door opening, I'll be the first to trot over, tail wagging, ready to greet you as if to say, "You're home!"
For me, happiness is wonderfully simple. Sharing everyday life together, going for walks, and being the first to welcome you home at the end of the day. I hope that one day, I'll be waiting by the door, ready to welcome you home.”
Health and care
Fit and healthy; the old hind-leg injury has healed.
