Story
Meet Phillip!
Nickname: Philly Cheese
Fun Fact: Phillip will most definitely set the pace on walks. Don’t think it is up to you!
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Golden Oldie
Weight: 10 lbs
Health issues: Watching liver levels, only medication is Denamarin ($32 per month on Chewy)
History: Phillip was surrendered with 4 other dogs to Tennessee shelter
Foster home: Fitchburg, WI
Activity level: Low
Friendly with: Other dogs and adults. He is particular as to how he is picked up and will nip if it is done incorrectly. Children may not be a good fit due to this. Has not been around cats in Wisconsin, but reportedly was not a fan of them in Tennessee.
Sleep style: Phillip sleeps in a small fluffy dog bed on his foster dad's bed. He currently sleeps about 7 hours a night without much movement or snoring. He like to cuddle before bed and when he wakes up.
Meals: Special low-fat diet. He is currently on smallbatchdog freeze-dried sliders for dogs. He is fed twice day following the recommendation on the bag. He is treat motivated
Bark-o-meter: 2/10
Shedding meter: 1/10
Fashion: definitely not sweaters. He’ll nip you for even trying! Loungewear, but on his terms
Signature color: Green, white, and red representing his breed's Mexican background. Bonus: those are Christmas colors too!
Walk out song: “Tom Sawyer" by Rush seems appropriate for Phillip.
Favorite season: Summer, when the humans aren’t trying to put clothes on him!
Personality: Phillip is a free-spirited boy and just wants to do his own thing.
Best feature: He is amazingly espectful to his foster brother. He will always let him finish eating or drinking before approaching the bowl. He would be a great friend to a laid back, mild mannered dog.
Signature Move: Napping (and giving you attitude if you wake him up)
Love Language: Food. Allllll the food. He can help you cook too! (And wait for you to drop something!)
Loves: Since both fosters work from home, Phillip gets alot of attention and enjoys being by his foster dad's side. He attentive and will attempt sitting on our lap whenever the opportunity presents itself. He wants to know what we are doing and will seek us out if he can't see us out if he is curious. Lammy is his one and only favorite toy and likes to shake it around a few times a day to entertain us.
Bucket list: Learning to use the internet and your credit card. He thinks Amazon looks AMAZING.
