Phoenix German Shepherd Dog Edison, NJ

Phoenix is a 6 year old female (3/2023 makes 7yr). She's a big girl, approximately 80lb with a big personality to match.
She tends to be an alpha, and although has lived with a male malinois previously, Phoenix would be best as an only dog.
Phoenix tends to be hyper focused on stimuli outside the house (lack of socialization when younger). She will focus on animals, moving cars, and pull to new smells etc. She is dog reactive and will require training; she requires a confident handler with GSD experience.
Phoenix is a good girl, good in the home, non-destructive. She knows basic commands. She enjoys human companionship and playing with toys. She also enjoys short car rides.
Phoenix would thrive in an adult-only home, as kids do cause her anxiety. She'd be best as a solo dog with a large fenced in area so she can comfortably live out her older/golden years. She is healthy and would love to find her forever human(s).
