My name is Phil!

Sex: Male

Breed: Pitbull x

Estimated Date of Birth : 06/03/2023

Phil was the sweetest pup in his litter. A litter that lingered at our city shelter. He grew up in the shelter system and sadly that doesn’t set young pups up for success. They miss out on the training and socialization opportunities all puppies need to thrive as adult dogs. Lucky for Phil we got him out and he headed into the Pawsitive Change program at North Kern State prison. He’ll spend the next 3 months learning everything he needs to be an amazing adult dog and gaining the socialization he lacked at the shelter. Under his trainers guidance he will learn skills to improve his adoptability and make him a happy well rounded dog.

Phil and his siblings came very close to never having a chance at life. Because of their dark color and breed they lingered for months at our city shelter. They were growing up in shelter kennels and the smooth floors of those kennels were having a negative impact on their legs. Puppies need to run and play for appropriate growth and development and this crew needed out immediately! We put out pleas across social media and so many wonderful families stepped up to foster giving us room at our rescue ranch to pull Phil and his siblings. Phil and Pepe both scored the opportunity to go into Pawsitive Change!

Phil loves all people and other dogs. He has a happy go lucky puppy personality and his time in prison will give him the structure, rules and boundaries all puppies need to grow into amazing adult dogs. We know he’s going to come out a rockstar and can’t wait to get him ready for adoption. If you’ve been looking for trained that’s exactly what Phil will be so apply to give this sweet boy the perfect family once he’s graduated Pawsitive Change!
