Phoenix is a female German shepherd dog female who is estimated to be 1.5 years old. She was turned in to the local Houston area kill shelter. She had severe mange (see before treatment pictures) and was very underweight. She is a very sweet dog and is focused on her humans. She loves to get petted and has been fine with children (ages 6-7 yrs tested with her) and other dogs. She rode in the car with another AGSDR foster dog, Chelsea without problems. Phoenix is spayed and fully vetted. She is a very smart girl and is active and loves to go for walks. She would probably be a great running or walking partner. She is currently in a board and train facility in Austin. Please consider meeting Phoenix and giving her a forever home!
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
