I am so excited to finally meet you, my future family! My name is Phil, but my foster mom sometimes calls me Philbert or No Philter Phil. I have the best Gremlin ears that almost never go down! I was found with my sister on a little walkabout before coming to Save-A-Bull. I'm not sure where she went, but I have had quite the adventure in my time with fosters. I am so grateful for the love and care I've received, and now it's time for me to give back to a great family! I am a submissive boy who is motivated by praise and positive reinforcement. I am crate trained, potty trained, and learning bell training. I love to lean up against you and share the love, and I'm also a professional backseat driver!
Ideal Home
My ideal home would have me as the only dog, so I can have all the attention. I'd love lots of comfy spots to watch out the window or cuddle up.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions mentioned.
Training & Support
I am crate trained and potty trained, and we are working on bell training. I am also working on advanced skills like "leave it" and "stay," and I'm practicing heeling behavior. I'm easy to train because I love working for treats and catch on quickly. I am learning that asking permission by looking to my foster mom is the way to live a good life. I do tell canine companions when I am uncomfortable, and I am not meant to be every dog's friend, but there are some that I am sure I would like if I got to take my time. I haven't chewed or destroyed anything in the house. I might be really good at scent work. I haven't really figured out how to play with toys yet, but I do find squeaky stuffies amusing. I love having a stable routine, it helps me predict what is coming next and eases any anxiety.
