A little about them

Phil is a goofy, happy, and affectionate pittie mix who loves kisses and snuggles. After a difficult start, he is thriving in foster care and ready to find his family.

Ideal Home

Phil is child friendly and currently lives successfully with an infant. He may do well with an infant he can grow with, while older children should understand boundaries such as not hugging or sneaking up on him. He has tested well with toddlers, but they may be too unpredictable for him initially.

Phil cannot live with cats or small animals. He is high energy and would enjoy dog siblings with similar energy. He will do best in a single-family home with a yard, not an apartment.
