Phillip

Meet Phillip… aka the Vanilla Thrilla, aka your new tiny supervisor with a very strong opinions department.<br/><br/>Phillip is a certified Golden Oldie™ with 10 pounds of pure “I run this meeting now” energy. On walks, he will absolutely be setting the pace. You’re not walking Phillip~ Phillip is walking you. Hope you can keep up.<br/><br/>This distinguished gentleman joined Albert's Dog Lounge after being surrendered with four of his friends in Tennessee, and he’s been perfecting his retirement lifestyle in Fitchburg, WI ever since.<br/><br/>Let’s cover the essentials:<br/><br/>Phillip is low energy, but don’t confuse that with low personality. He’s more of a “short burst of leadership followed by a nap” kind of guy. His signature move? Power napping… immediately followed by side-eye if you dare interrupt him.<br/><br/>He gets along great with other dogs (especially chill ones who respect personal space and snack timing). He’s a gentleman at the food bowl, truly. However, when it comes to being picked up, Phillip has… boundaries. Think “tiny HR manager with teeth.” Because of this, a home without young kids is the best fit.<br/><br/>Cats? Phillip has previously reviewed them and has decided: no thank you.<br/><br/>His love language is food. All food. Any food. If you’re cooking, he will be there supervising like a small, judgmental sous chef waiting for something to “accidentally” fall. He’s also treat motivated, which is great news for anyone who enjoys being manipulated by a 10 pound boss.<br/><br/>At night, Phillip sleeps like a king in a fluffy bed placed on his foster dad’s bed (yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds). He clocks a solid 7 hours and expects cuddles before and after. This is non-negotiable.<br/><br/>Fashion? Absolutely not. Sweaters will be rejected immediately and possibly aggressively. Phillip prefers a “natural look” and values autonomy in all wardrobe decisions.<br/><br/>His prized possession is a toy named Lammy, which he shakes around daily like he’s putting on a one dog show for your entertainment. Honestly, it works.<br/><br/>Health wise, Phillip is doing well! His liver levels are being monitored, and he takes Denamarin (about $32/month). He’s neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, housebroken (as long as you respect his schedule), and does great on a leash. No crate needed, just provide a throne (fluffy bed) and you’re good.<br/><br/>Final note: Phillip’s bucket list includes learning how to use the internet and your credit card. He has seen Amazon and has ideas.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a hilarious, independent, slightly spicy, deeply lovable little guy who will keep you entertained and mildly controlled at all times, Phillip is ready to run your household.<br/><br/>Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.<br/><br/>Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $350, ($600 for a pair).
