Meet Phil — proud member of the Groundhog Day Litter<br/>Chihuahua mix | Born around Nov 2, 2025<br/><br/>Phil is that perfect in-between puppy: a little adventurous, a little thoughtful, and fully on board with laps, affection, and quality cuddle time. He’s recently discovered that the world is pretty interesting, and now he’s leaning in—especially if toys are involved. Rope toys, in particular, have his full attention.<br/><br/>He adores the resident dog and happily follows her around like a very polite little shadow. With people, he’s friendly and social without being clingy—he likes knowing you’re there, but he’s not trying to crawl inside your sweatshirt. Think independent explorer with excellent manners.<br/><br/>Phil is doing great with potty pads and is already showing us he’s a quick study. Crate time starts with a brief protest (as all good puppies believe is their right), then he settles quickly and sleeps through the night like a champ. During the day, he enjoys roaming the house, keeping tabs on both humans and his canine role model.<br/><br/>We think Phil would enjoy walks, play dates with other dogs, and social gatherings where pups can mingle, and a home that appreciates a puppy who’s confident, curious, and affectionate without being over-the-top. He’s friendly, engaged, and genuinely interested in the world—just not in a chaotic way.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a puppy who’s sweet, steady, and quietly charming (with a growing sense of adventure), Phil may be your guy.<br/><br/>Apply online to get started: http://poundpuppyrescue.org/adoptapp.php. <br/><br/>Please note: We only adopt to homes in Northern California and your children must be over the age of 6.
