Phoenix is a mixed breed dog (we are guessing cattle dog with maybe Aussie or Beagle?) about 9-10 years old. He is gentle and loves people. He is mostly calm inside, but when he is outside or on walks, he is full of energy--much more than the normal senior dog. He is ok with some dogs, but others he doesn't like. He isn't much into playing, but likes attention from people and would probably love walks in the park. We aren't sure if he is house trained or how he is with cats. We will update as we get to know him better. He seems very sweet.
