Phoenix, the Dog of the Day
Name: Phoenix
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Home: Houston, Texas, USA
 
   My pet's name is Phoenix (meaning from the ashes). Phoenix is approximately three years of age and is a purebred German Shepherd Dog.

    Phoenix had to fight hard to stay in the ball game of life and overcome grave mental anguish that stemmed from apparent dreadful experiences which had become terrible mind demons that needed to be conquered. He is now healthy, joyfully happy, and ever so loving -- and quite the clown at times, all which is wonderful to behold.

    My heart melted when I first saw Phoenix, a wonderful joy who has now easily become my heart dog for all time. Phoenix once needed a bridge to a new life, and that bridge was given him by German Shepherd Dog Rescue Referral of Houston -- and I was just fortunate enough to become his forever mom! Once fearful, lonely & unwanted, severely emaciated & afraid to love, Phoenix is now my sleek, bright-eyed, tail-always-wagging-for-joy boy! I can't imagine life without him as he has so willingly returned my love and devotion a hundred times over. This picture was taken a few months back when he was just starting to realize that life could be a totally new picture and he'd also gained quite a bit of weight, but still had more to go! You should see him now! We're too busy having fun together to slow down long enough for the camera!
