My story

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

🩵Meet Phil – The Sweetest Little Survivor!🩵

Phil is a five-month-old mystery mix (maybe Boxer, maybe Pitty, maybe just 100% adorable) with a heart as big as his feet! Weighing in at 21 pounds. This little guy has been through so much, but you’d never know it—his tail never stops wagging!

Phil’s Greatest Hits:
✔️ Nap Champion – Snoozing is his superpower.
✔️ Nighttime Pro – Sleeps soundly through the night.
✔️ Crate Trained – Can be left alone for up to six hours with no accidents.
✔️ Kiddo Approved – Loves children and all the cuddles they bring.
✔️ Toy Rookie – Learning the art of play one chew at a time.
✔️ Lick Machine – His love language is kisses (just ask our oldest dog!).
✔️ Chill Vibes Only – Somehow skipped the teething stage altogether.
✔️ Netflix & Snuggle Enthusiast – Your perfect binge-watching buddy.
✔️ Food Lover – Because, honestly, who isn’t?
✔️ Smart Cookie – Has already learned sit!
✔️ Healthy Pup – Up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations.
✔️ Gentle Soul – No food aggression, no reactivity—he wouldn’t hurt a fly

Phil had a tough beginning, spending his early life in a cold, dark basement. Because of that, he’s still adjusting to new sights and sounds—cars, barking dogs, and unfamiliar places can make him a little nervous. But he’s a brave boy, walks well on a leash, and is learning that the world isn’t so scary after all.

Despite everything, Phil doesn’t hold a grudge—he LOVES people and their laps and is ready to give his whole heart to a family that will love him back. His sweet, unique face might not always show his emotions, but trust us—this pup is pure joy.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering—yes, Phil is extra special… he’s missing one toenail! But don’t worry, it doesn’t slow him down one bit.

Phil is looking for a family that will be patient as he continues learning that the world is a safe and loving place. He’d thrive with a family who can give him gentle guidance, lots of snuggles, and plenty of treats.
