Philip is a 3.5-month-old male Shepherd/Hound mix with the most adorable white stripe running down his face—it perfectly matches his sweet, gentle personality. He’s a bit more nervous than his siblings, still carefully observing the world around him, but he’s absolutely deserving of a family who will help him feel safe and loved.
Philip had a tough start as an outdoor puppy without early socialization, so new sights, sounds, and situations can be overwhelming right now. He’ll need a very patient, kind, and reassuring adopter who understands that confidence isn’t rushed and that progress comes one small step at a time.
He’ll need all the typical puppy training—potty training, leash skills, and basic commands—and would truly benefit from positive reinforcement and routine. A home with a confident, friendly dog would be ideal, helping Philip learn that the world isn’t so scary and showing him how to be a happy, playful pup.
With love, consistency, and a gentle hand, Philip has the potential to blossom into an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion. He may be quieter right now, but his heart is big—and he’s ready for a family willing to help it shine.

More about this shelter
The Colony Animal Services strives to protect andTCAS LOGO-UPDATED nurture The City of The Colony’s lost, homeless, abused, injured, and sick pets. We seek to provide animals the opportunity to be reclaimed, adopted, rehabilitated, or rescued. It is the mission for the Animal Service Officers and volunteers to pursue a positive synergy and to serve the citizens and pets of The Colony.
Animal Services is committed to saving each and every animal that comes into our care. Over the last few years, we have improved our live release rate to 97%. We hold our standards high at keeping this percentage, and in doing so, we ask our rescue partners and citizens to help us pursue finding our animals forever homes.
Every year, we get over a hundred injured and sick animals that need our help. In order for us to help them, we use our donated medical fund to give them the proper care and treatment they need. The only way for us to provide this needed medical care is through our generous financial donors. Every penny donated is sent to our medical fund. Please help us continue this much needed medical care for our animals by donating. Even if you cannot donate, it is a huge help to share posts on social media.
