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

Hello, my name is Phoenix. I was hours away from being euthanized that the Shasta shelter in northern California along with my brothers before our rescuer stepped up and got us on the same day Transport 8 hours away! We arrived safely and thankfully healthy, I was the runt of the litter and I got picked on by my brothers quite often but now that I’m bigger and almost the size of a 10 week old Belgian Malinois puppy, I got the nickname Petite Belgian Mal, short stack and Miss Pheenee! i’m definitely going to be smaller than the average pup, but it doesn’t stop me! I’m extremely playful and I absolutely love other dogs, cats and children however, the cats I’ve been socialized with don’t really care for dogs so I spend most of my time playing by myself or playing with my Rescue siblings. I would love a yard to play in or walked at least twice a day. I’m not a high maintenance puppy I’m very low maintenance and I’m not high energy. I will play but I know when it’s time to relax and wind down. I’m not loud and I’m not destructive despite my breeds reputation, I don’t need a lot to be happy just a few toys a crate where I can isolate myself when I need to and I’m a happy camper. I would be great for someone who doesn’t want a tiny dog but also doesn’t want a large dog. I’m pretty mellow and I love to cuddle, still getting used to the leash but with a few more one on one walks, I should master it. If you think I would make a good addition to your family, please contact my rescuer with the information listed directly above my story and schedule a time to meet with me. I am approved for same-day adoption so if we meet and you fall in love, we can finalize the contract together and you can take me home. I’m really excited to meet my forever family!
