Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Phillip! He is an extremely sweet 7 lb maltese/shih tzu mix. He is 7-8 years old but acts more like a 4-5 yr old. When our group found him, he looked more like a matted, tangled mop than a dog, however, we were sure there was a dog under that mop mess!
We believe he was mainly a backyard dog with not much human interaction. While he loves to follow his foster Mom around the house and will give kisses, he is not needy. He just likes to be close to his person. He is not a big barker so he would be ideal in an apartment situation.
He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and has been to the dentist. Phillip gets along fine with other dogs and even cats. All he needs now is a loving, forever home.
If you are interested in him, please complete the on-line application as he does not always attend the weekly PETCO adoption event on Saturdays. The E-Mail address is: www.adoptmerescue@gmail.com.
