Weighing just 6.7 pounds, he is truly the perfect lap-sized companion, small enough to tuck into your arms, yet big enough in heart to fill an entire home. ♥️🏡<br/>Phelix is everything you could hope for in a best friend. He is soft-natured, affectionate, and endlessly loving, and he is happiest when he is curled up in a warm lap, soaking in every bit of closeness and comfort. He leans in for affection, enjoys attention, and would much rather be with his person than anywhere else. He also does well with other dogs and enjoys calm, peaceful walks, where he shows off his excellent leash manners.<br/>✔️ ~10 years old<br/>✔️ 6.7 lbs of pure sweetness<br/>✔️ Neutered<br/>✔️ Fully vaccinated<br/>✔️ Dog-friendly<br/>✔️ Loves to cuddle and be in your lap<br/>✔️ Gentle, friendly personality<br/>✔️ Walks beautifully on a leash<br/>As a senior, Phelix is now looking for something very special; a calm, loving home where he can finally relax, feel safe, and be deeply cherished in his golden years. He doesn’t ask for much: a warm lap, a soft bed, and someone who will love him as much as he will love them.<br/>With such an amazing and loving heart, it can sometimes come with its own complications. Phelix currently has a grade 5 heart murmur, and is scheduled to have an echocardiogram to see the extent of his murmur. <br/>His echo costs us ~$400, as mentioned before, our funds are low, so any donations towards his medical care are very appreciated! <br/>More updates to come ♥️ <br/><br/><br/>***08/02/26 - New intake from Fort Worth shelter, 10 yrs, 7.4 lbs
