Meet Philip

Are you looking for a dog with a big gummy smile who has a tongue with a mind of its own and a heart so filled with feelings he has to AWOO them out sometimes??? Well we have the man for you! Part muppet, part hound - Meet Philip! Philip has been doing great in his foster home healing from heartworm treatment, and his little perfectly well behaved and perfectly weirdo personality has finally come out. Phillip is crate and house trained. He is dog friendly, though some dogs can be way too much for his sensitive little soul, and he is also cat and even chicken friendly! Philip loves to play “hide and seek” and will creep up from another room on his foster brother, or even his foster parents, like a lion stalking its prey - he thinks he is a tough guy, and then pounce, or most often get caught mid stalk and then stop like, “what? Me? I wasn’t doing anything.” Philip doesn’t mind being carried and cuddled one bit, and will get so into it he will go rag doll limp with contentment. Phil makes his foster fam laugh daily with how unique his personality is and we have loved to be a part of watching this underweight, covered in ticks, heartworm positive, scared and overstimulated boy get to heal and be himself. Now it’s time we find his forever people to appreciate him for exactly who he is. Phil is 2-3 years old and 40lbs. Adopt happiness. Adopt Philip.
