Disposition: Confident, social and energetic
Phinat is a confident, friendly dog who loves meeting visitors. She gets along with other dogs and loves to play with other confident dogs in her play group. She walks assertive in all environments, including busy areas, and is comfortable around people. While she may become slightly tense around other dogs and eager to approach, she remains calm and approachable, especially when off leash in the play yard where she enjoys exploring and running.
History: Phinat was seven months old when she arrived at Soi Dog Foundation's hospital in June 2025 after a road traffic accident. X-rays revealed fractures in her femur, tail, and pelvis. She underwent surgery to repair her left femur and had her tail amputated. With dedicated care, Phinat made a strong recovery.
Best Home: Phinat would do best in with a family, couple or individual who has an active, structured home that can match her energy and confidence. She would be happy in a home with another confident and playful dog or would be fine as the only dog in the household.
Amazing Qualities: Resilient, playful and fun-lovig.
