Story
Hi, I’m Phillip, a 9monthold Maltese-Poodle blend weighing 10 pounds. My name means “lover of horses,” but at my size, I think I’m much better suited for riding shotgun than riding horses! I’m a happy, social guy who enjoys tagging along for car rides and seeing what each day has in store. I have an enthusiastic spirit, a wagging tail, and a knack for making friends wherever I go.
Favorite Things: Phillip loves companionship and has never met a stranger he doesn’t want to greet. He enjoys snuggling, handing out kisses, and spending time with the people he loves. While toys are not a huge priority for him, he absolutely loves playtime with canine friends. Food also ranks high on his list of favorite things, making him an easy dog to motivate.
Training and Manners: Phillip walks nicely on a leash and enjoys riding in the car. He is still working on house training and polishing his basic manners, but he’s a bright young dog with plenty of potential. His food motivation helps make learning fun, and he should continue making great progress with consistency and positive guidance.
Health and Care: Phillip is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He is a healthy boy and will simply need monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives like any dog. His Maltese-Poodle coat will require professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks to keep him looking and feeling his best.
Other Animals: Phillip does wonderfully with other pets. He has experience with calm dogs and enjoys having a canine friend around. He has also lived successfully with cats, making him a great candidate for a multi-pet household.
Children: Phillip can do well with children of all ages. His cheerful personality and playful spirit make him a fun companion for families.
Ideal Home: Phillip thrives in a singlefamily home where he has plenty of company throughout the day. He forms strong bonds with his people and can become vocal when left on his own for long periods, simply because he enjoys being near those he loves. A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus for helping him burn off some evening energy,
Overall: Phillip is a delightful young dog with a bright personality and an eagerness to make every day more fun. While his name may mean “lover of horses,” Phillip would much rather gallop straight into the heart of his future family. If Phillip sounds like the perfect match, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to submit an adoption application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster family will reach out. His adoption donation is $650.
