Phil German Shepherd Dog Mix Rockland, WI

Happy PHIL (aka Philly/Philly Cheesesteak) Friday! This handsome young man is still with us in foster careand we just CANNOT believe it! Phil celebrated his 1st birthday back in March, and although we couldn't gift him with a forever family before his special dayhe told us he'd GLADLY accept a home as a *belated* birthday present! Phil was born in a sister shelter of ours on 3/2/23. After 9 months of life there with no interest (seriously ), Phil started to get quite depressed and was declining. He knew that shelter life just couldn't be all there wasand he yearned for the love of family he'd never known. One of our incredibly gracious foster families opened up their home to this sweet, sweet boy, and he (+ WE ) couldn't be more thankful! So although he's made it from shelter foster homewe'd LOVE to see him make that final step to FOREVER FAMILY!! Could you please help us by sharing this cute boy's story??

Phil (male) is now 1 year & 2 months old. He is listed as a German shepherd mixbut we truly aren't sure of his breed(s). We'd love to see a DNA test done on this cutie! Being the runt of his litter, Phil is fully grown @ right around 50lbsso he's just the most perfect medium-sized pup! This works out well for both Phil and his people, because his all time favorite thing = LAP CUDDLES!! His ideal place is snuggled up on his foster momso if you're looking for a snuggle-pup, Phil. Is. Your. Dude. He is a lap dog through and through! He doesn't believe in personal space when it comes to snuggle sessions. Mid-day naps? Yes please! Blankets? ALL of them! Belly rubs? Obviously. Seriously, he's the sweetest!

Phil adores kiddos (of all ages!) and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He loves to play, romp, and wrestle with the other younger dog in his foster home! His favorite toys are his stuffed animals, but will happily play with toys of all types! He is 100% potty-trained (WIN) and is crate-trained. He was initially a bit timid around his foster dad (he tends to gravitate a bit more towards females & children), but his family has been awesome at working with him + exposing him to plenty of menso Phil would truly be a great fit for a family/home of any kind! As for kittieswe can't attest that he's ever met one, so his status with cats is currently unknown.

Phil has been dreaming of finding his family for 442 days. We've PROMISED him that his forever is out there somewheresearching for him, too. Is it you?? If this precious boy sounds like the one for you, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Mr. Philly Cheesesteak himself!
