I am so excited to finally meet my future family! My name is Phil, but my foster mom sometimes calls me Philbert or No Filter Phil. I have the best Gremlin ears that almost never go down! I was found on a little walkabout before coming to Save-A-Bull. I've had quite the adventure in my time with fosters and I'm so grateful for the love and care I've received. Now it's time for me to give back to a great family!
Ideal Home
I would do best in a home where I am the only dog, as I like to have all the attention. I would love a home with lots of comfy spots to watch out the window or cuddle up. I like to be out with you and am an excellent backseat driver, so road trip anyone?
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions mentioned.
Training & Support
I am crate trained and sleep in my crate at night, but I do want to be with you all the time, so patience is key as I learn to be more confident that my person will always return. I am really good at sitting for things, and we are working on more advanced skills like "leave it" and "stay." I have gotten really good at boundary training and am practicing heeling behavior. I am easy to train because I love working for treats and catch on pretty quickly. One of my biggest habits is leaning up against you when I meet you to share the love! I have also learned that a quick "uh uh" means I am doing something sneaky and should probably stop. I would do great with some doggy classes around other dogs and people to get used to distractions. I haven't really figured out how to play with toys yet, but I am learning. I haven't chewed or destroyed anything in the house. I am potty trained and we are working on bell training. I love having a stable routine, as it helps me predict what is coming next and eases any anxiety. I do tell canine companions when I am uncomfortable. 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.
