Phoenix is about two years old and he was in a foster home with other dogs for about a week . He does well around multiple dogs. He appears to be house trained and at the very least, crate trained. From what his foster parent said he is pretty relaxed and calm in the house as well. He knows sit, shake, down and during the semester, some Purdue students worked with him on walking an a gentle leader. He would make a great jogging partner as well as a great addition to a household with other dogs. He has lived with children, age 8 and with a cat. Phoenix loves to be close to cuddle or lean.
