PHOENIX - SHIH TZU / LHASA APSO / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Lhasa Apso / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Phoenix, an adorable Shih Tzu Lhasa Apso male mix. At 5 years old, Phoenix is being surrendered, through no fault of his own, and is in need of a loving home. He spends much of his time during the day alone, and would absolutely love a home where he can interact with his family, be active, be cuddled, and live his best life. Phoenix is about 21 pounds of cuteness, searching for a committed, loving family. Phoenix sleeps in a crate with the door open. He is pad trained in the home, but will go outside as well. He is up to date on vaccines and he is neutered. Pad training is due to Phoenix being alone up to 13 hours per day. At this time, Phoenix has not had interaction with other dogs, but current owner reports that he was left at doggy daycare and he got along with other dogs well. Phoenix would thrive in a home that’s ready to give lots of love and guidance as he continues to learn to interact with people and other animals, all while providing a family with love. A loving foster or forever home where he can be exposed to practicing basic skills and continue to show his wonderful personality would be ideal. Since there is no history of Phoenix with small children, family members above 12 years old may be best. Adopt Phoenix and make your heart — and home — whole.
