My name is
Phoenix!

* High energy boy that likes to talk about his day
* Would love to find an active owner that keeps him busy
* Toys are his favorite, will chase and then bring back for another toss
* Already knows a couple commands- sit and shake
* Smart cookie that is eager to learn more if you`ll teach him
* Friendly and social meeting new people- does jump up when excited
* Seems to be a bit unsocialized meeting other dogs
* Pulls toward them, is very vocal, and unsure about what to do
* Greeted some dogs appropriately and wanted to play- but then changed his mind and was defensive at second meeting with the same dog
* Would likely prefer to be the only dog in the home
* If he were to have siblings, it would take an experienced owner with a very slow introduction
* Curious of cats and tolerated swats from them
* Does have separation anxiety and will require a heavy duty `jail cell` type crate in his new home
* Would prefer a home with older children
