About this Dog
Calm, Confident, Respectful Dog
She is a calm, confident, and respectful dog with a strong foundation in obedience and safety training.
Commands She Knows:
Sit
Down
Place
Leave It
Come
Break
Heel
Walk
Focus
Touch
Release
Leash & Road Safety: She walks very well on leash. When walking along a roadway, she has been specifically conditioned to move onto the grass and sit whenever a vehicle approaches. This behavior was intentionally trained as an additional safety measure.
Stop Gesture: She has also been trained to immediately and calmly sit whenever a person raises their hand in a clear “Stop” gesture.
Door & Walk Routine: Before going for a walk, she is trained to go into a calm down position and wait before the door is opened. She may approach the open doorway, but she is not permitted to exit until the human has moved to the other side of the threshold and gives the “Break” or “Come” command.
Once released, she exits calmly and immediately goes into a Sit to wait for the “Heel” or “Walk” command.
If she moves ahead of the human, she is calmly redirected back and asked to repeat the process. This reinforces patience, impulse control, and safe movement through doorways.
Flirt Pole
She loves her Flirt Pole. The game starts when she is in a Sit and she must focus on you, not the flirt pole. Command Focus and she must hold focus for 3-5 seconds before the flirt is released along with the "Get it" command. Once she gets the object on the flirt pole you can play tug for a short period of time. To release the object from her simply grab the object and give her a firm "Release" command and she will leave the object.

How will Phoenix receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Phoenix, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Phoenix's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Phoenix was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Phoenix’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Phoenix’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Phoenix’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
