About Philip

Meet Phillip, a 50-pound Staffy mix who is a champion toy-flinger and a true cuddle bug after bath time! Phillip can be a little shy at first, but he's gaining confidence daily and working hard on his leash manners. He's a dog-friendly pup who has enjoyed playing with dogs of all sizes. Phillip is also good with men and women, but he is still learning that raised hands are for petting, not for scaring him. Phillip has a moderate to high energy level and enjoys daily exercise and mental stimulation, like walks or puzzle toys. He is crate-trained and doesn't dig, but he does love his chew toys, so supervised play is essential. Phillip knows how to sit and is improving his impulse control, especially when treats are involved. He's a work in progress who will blossom with patience and love.

Ideal Home

Phillip would thrive in a home that can give him the space to continue growing into a confident and happy dog. Homes with children 10 years and older are recommended to ensure the best fit.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions or procedures were mentioned.

Training & Support

Phillip is working on building confidence, leash manners, and impulse control around treats. He needs a home that understands he is a work in progress and can provide patience and positive reinforcement.
