About Philip

Meet Phillip, a 50-pound Staffy mix with a heart as big as his love for flinging plushie toys! Phillip is a master of play and adores snuggles, especially after he's conquered bath time like the champ he is. He can be a little shy initially, but he's gaining confidence and finding his voice every day. Phillip's leash manners are improving, and while he might try to lead the walk, a patient handler will find him quickly getting back on track.

Ideal Home

Phillip is a social butterfly with other dogs of all sizes and is good with men and women. However, he is not a fan of hands being raised above him, as he's learning that hands are for petting, not for threats. A home with children 10 years and over is recommended to ensure the best fit. He has a moderate to high energy level and needs daily exercise and mental stimulation. Supervised play is a must, as he has a strong connection with his chew toys.

Ongoing Health

Phillip is a healthy boy with no ongoing health concerns mentioned.

Training & Support

Phillip knows how to sit, though his enthusiasm can sometimes get the best of him, especially when treats are involved. He is crate-trained and does not dig. He needs a home that understands he is a work in progress and can offer love and patience as he continues to grow.
