About Phoenix
It’s Phoenix’s turn to rise from the ashes and start a new life! 🧡
This lovely old gent is a 13 year old male Shih Tzu x. He was extremely matted and not cared for when he came into care at SMART 4 months ago. Since being here, he has got a new lease on life, had a haircut and begun socializing with humans and dogs around the sanctuary! He is still a bit unsure on human kind and doesn’t seem to be house trained but seems to be pretty happy running around with fur friends and is a bit of a Casanova with the ladies 😉
Phoenix comes to you desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, temperament tested, wormed and flea treated!
Updated photos coming soon! 📸

Adoption details
Our adoption process is easy. You will receive a application for the animals you are interested in. Please full that in and send it back to us.
Even though you may be first to message, this does not always guarantee you will be chosen to adopt. By no means do we run on a "first in, first served basis". We aim to ensure that our animals are adopted into the most suitable home for them and the new family.
With all our animals, we go on what our vet has told us and what we believe the breed and age to be. We never guarantee the breed or age but take the best educated guess.
Please note: Our shelter is located in the Snowy Mountains. We are a 5 hour drive from Sydney and Melbourne and 2 to 3 hours from Canberra.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
