Fenix was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a neurological disorder that affects his coordination and balance. When he was four months old, he was abandoned at a kill shelter.
According to Fenix’ webpage, when he arrived at the shelter, he wasn’t able to stand, was emaciated, and “shook badly.” He was adopted by Zoe and Eric Lumiere, who helped Fenix face his challenges. Now four years old, Fenix, the white Husky with the brilliant blue eyes is a prancing, happy dog sharing his love of life with people around the world.
So his coordination is a bit challenging, but different doesn’t mean it’s not awesome does it?
Now I not only stand on my own, but i prance like a pony. I’m here to show the world that our differences and our challenges aren’t here to hold us back!
our challenges in life are here to grow us into more love, more courage and more compassion.

Fenix’ disorder doesn’t hurt in anyway. He also has a full life expectancy, and according to his humans – not a day goes by that this dog thinks there is anything not normal about him!
Fenix has more than 2.2 MILLION followers on TikTok. His joy comes from spreading the happiness of life no matter what challenges any of us might face.
