A Volunteer writes: The meaning on the Web for the name Fenix (or Phoenix) is: A Flying Being With Amazing Musical Talent. He/She Is Good At Bringing People Together For Great Things. The Man/Woman Who Go By The Name Fenix Eventually Does Great Things. Fenix Is Not For People Who Cannot Spell Phoenix It Is For Those Who Does Not Care About How People See Them.
Well that definition certainly applies to this Gal! She is full on Love! And if you are into lots of Hugs and Kisses this is your girl! She is very good on the leash. She said Hi to everyone we met on our walk, human and other. Her wiggly butt says it all! Come and meet Fenix, you won’t go home without her!

A volunteer writes:   A pouty bottom lip and chin whiskers – just like my Aunt Lotte!  I love that!  Fenix has the best face, serious and serene but when she brings her toy into my lap to play tug you know there’s a playful spirit behind that frumpy face.   Her coat is like the softest velvet, the coloring is subtle and stunning, and when she joins me on the bench with her toy for some cuddling she completely stole my heart.  She greeted staff with a soft tail wag, and wagged her tail at other dogs through the gate.   Returning from a walk with another volunteer I’m told she went potty as soon as they got outside and she pulls slightly on leash.   I fell head over heels in love with this sweet, refined and gentle compact little girl who is patiently waiting to find her forever person.   I wish it could be me but it can’t.  But if you’re still reading this and not rushing to ACC to meet her it won’t be you either!  Go meet our little nugget; she’ll win your heart.

Behavior

Fenix came into our center after a member of the public bought her off of someone and then changed her mind. She was easy in and out of her kennel, allowed all handling. She arrived with wounds on her body of unknown origin, medical department concluded they are most likely from another dog. Fenix pulled hard on leash for her relief walk. She allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, tail wag, body soft. Fenix leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, tail wagging. She followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, jumping up and lightly mouthing assessor mid-game, but got off easily. She did not pull her paw back on both Squeeze attempts, tail wagging. Fenix playfully engaged with Toy, keeping a firm grip with her paw, loose body, wagging tail. She approached the helper dog at an appropriate pace, tail at spine level, body not stiff, lip lick. The Behavior Team feels Fenix would do well in an Average home. She may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners and not to mouth.

Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. She allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands.

Sensitivity: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft, soft and loose body, tail wag.

Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft, jumped up mid game, mouthed lightly.

Squeeze 1: 1. Dog does not pull back paw, tail wag.

Toy 1. Dog keeps a firm grip, body loose, tail wag. She does not place her body between you and the toy.

Dog – dog 2. Dog approaches helper dog with tail at spine level, body not stiff, ears relaxed, and lip neutral

Group Behavior:

Fenix arrived at the care center with wounds of unknown origin, so she is muzzled for her interaction. She greets at the gate with a stiff body and high, flagging tail. She rushes into the pen and stands over the helper dog. He does not react but she continues to remain stiff over top of him. 12/23:  Fenix is muzzled for a second introduction.  She continues to remain stiff bodied when being sniffed by the helper dog.
