Story
Meet Phillipe – The Happiest Little Gentleman!
Looking for a pint-sized pup with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging? Meet Phillipe, a 1-year-old Shih Tzu who greets every day—and every person—with uncontainable excitement and pure love.
Phillipe is currently in a foster home where he’s blossomed into a snuggly, affectionate, and playful companion. He adores his people and shows it with enthusiastic greetings, full-body wiggles, and gentle kisses. When his foster mom walks through the door, Phillipe lights up the room like it’s the best moment of his day (because to him—it is!).
He’s great with other dogs and has fit right in with his foster siblings, joining in on cuddle piles, giving sweet doggy hugs, and learning the art of fetch (he’s still more of a cheerleader than a retriever, but he’s having fun trying!).
Phillipe is crate trained, doing wonderfully with house training, and is eager to please. He loves soft blankets, belly rubs, and following you from room to room just to be close. He’s the perfect mix of spunky and snuggly, and his gentle spirit makes him a joy to be around.
Whether you’re curled up on the couch or heading out for a walk, Phillipe is ready to be your loyal little sidekick.
Ready to give Phillipe the forever home he deserves?
Apply today and come meet this joyful, loving boy—you’ll fall in love the moment you see his wagging tail and sparkling eyes!

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results.
We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.
We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on.
Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
