About this Dog
Meet Phe! He has had a really rough start. My sister and I found him on the side of the road close to death, no collar, no chip, and starving. We both have multiple animals, and while we couldn't leave him, we can't keep him. Vet says he's about 2 or 3 years old. He is great on a leash, LOVES adventures, will hop right in the car with ease! Has occasional leash reactivity with no clear trigger, so needs an experienced owner!! He allowed me to bath him just fine, easier than my own dogs I've had for years. He is crate trained, goes in so easily, and spends a lot of time in there. He does well with my female dog and my grandparents submissive male dog, but my big boy is very territorial and so I have to crate and rotate. He has a high prey drive, and while he has never gone after my cat (always been on a leash inside), I don't know if I'd trust him with cats without training. That being said, he is SO SMART. He is the sassiest dog I've ever met, learns very quickly, presumed breed combo doozy. He will throw little temper tantrums, plop down, and demand walks over backyard time! He is not house broken, he'll hike a leg on anything, so that will also necessitate an experienced owner. He is so loving, he will put his head into your chest or big lean into you for snuggles and pets. He is the sweetest boy.

Adopt Phoenix and Receive Phoenix's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Phoenix's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

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!
