PHEONIX was transferred from a rescue in West Texas to GaDaH. Pheonix is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, lepto, heartworm and tick disease tested negative, is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipped and at the time of transfer in May 2020 weighed around 46 pounds. She has an estimated date of birth of 8 November 2019.

Pheonix is currently living in the house with other small, medium and large sized dogs and puppies and has been doing great. She can be very shy at first and was a little over-whelmed meeting the other dogs, but when she has gained confidence she is great. She is a very sweet girl, very loving and affectionate and with an active family would be a lot of fun. Taking time with her to gain trust is important and taking her to new places to build confidence in different environments would benefit her

Pheonix has access to a large enclosed in area, which is accessed through a dog door. although she is living in the house, due to having 24/7 access to outside, we are not able to say if she is house-trained other than that, so we expect families to be prepared to work on housetraining whilst she transitions to her new home, life and family.

Pheonix is an energetic young girl who is bursting with energy and so we are looking for an active family that will take her on walks, road trips and adventures so she can enjoy what the world has to offer. As with all new dogs Pheonix does need to be trained and it is beneficial for both her and her new family to do basic training at home, so personalities, body language and mannerisms can be learnt from each other, boundaries and rules set for her.  Training classes are encouraged for socialization also. Since being at the rescue Pheonix has not been exposed to cats or livestock so we are unable to say how she would be around them.

All dogs are fed  Rachael Ray Nutrish PEAK Natural Dry Dog Food, Grain Free Western Grasslands Recipe with Bison. Rachael Ray Nutrish Peak Dog Food receives the Dog Food Advisor’s second-highest tier rating of 4.5 stars.

Pheonix is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue, located in Sebec, Maine for an adoption fee of $550. Families MUST travel to the rescue in Sebec, Maine for meet and greet at time of adoption
