My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Look at this dapper dude!! Everyone meet Phil. This handsome boy came from a partner shelter of ours in Iowa, where (sadly) he was the only pup left in the litter without adoption interest. So after having been born in the shelter [as the runt of the litter nonetheless] and living the first 9 months of his life there…Phil’s outlook on life was declining. He wasn’t eating, was letting out the saddest cries, and overall had such a depressed demeanor. One of our generous fosters agreed to bring him in and show him just how amazing home-life can be! And as you can tell by his smile, Phil couldn’t be more grateful!! Phil (male) was born on 3/2/23. He is listed as a german shepherd mix, but we aren’t totally sure what his breed makeup is! Being the runt, he isn’t all too large…weighing-in right around 45-50lbs. He is a SWEET boy who was meant to live a life full of snuggles! His favorite place is on his foster mom’s lap, cuddled in tight with his head on her arm or leg. He would love nothing more than to find a forever snuggle-buddy! Phil gets along great with kids and other dogs. He loves to play and wrestle with the younger dog in his foster home! His favorite toys are stuffed animals, but does enjoy toys of all types. He is potty trained and kennel-trained, but does get a bit sad when he’s initially crated.  Phil does tend to gravitate more towards females and children vs males,  but now that he has been in his foster home for a while---he loves both the males and females in the home. Overall, he is so incredibly sweet and just so easy to love. So if you think he sounds like the perfect fit for you, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Phil!
