Phoenix is a super sweet and smart boy. He is 15 inches tall and now weighs 20 pounds.  He does come with several behaviors that his new owner will have to understand and help manage.  These are not due to anxiety so medication is not the answer for him. 

These are behaviors he has gotten by with because of a lack of training. His foster mom has been working with him on these issues and will help adopters on how to manage them. 

He is diabetic and has cataracts from untreated diabetes before coming to Rescue. 

He can she shapes and movement, but not much else. 

Phoenix weighed 40lbs when he first came into rescue, with weight loss and correct nutrition Phoenix has been off insulin for over 2 months now. However, h e is still diabetic and might need to go back on insulin at anytime. 

Phoenix needs to be in a home with no children. And only 1 or 2 other dogs.  He is good with other dogs, but the blindness makes him not like a lot of fast movement or changes.  

He is 100% house trained and actually found the dog door the 1st day he was here. Even with his loss of eyesight he uses the dog door. Phoenix  does not like a crate but does great in a small pen set up when I am not home.
