My story

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

If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Phoenix is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful boy, Phoenix, is funny and inquisitive and shy at first but warms up relatively quickly. He is still afraid of fast movements. He loves toys and seems to do well with other dogs as long as they are his size or smaller. He is about 12-14 lbs and we guestimate that he was born around 07/01/2020. His adoption fee is $300.
