Phineas's Story

Meet Phineas<br/><br/>Phineas is a 6-month-old terrier mix with the sweetest soul and the softest heart. He’s a gentle, sensitive boy who is learning how wonderful the world can be — and he’s making beautiful progress every day.<br/><br/>Phineas had a rough start to life and didn’t receive much early socialization, so new experiences can still feel a little overwhelming at first. With patience, consistency, and kindness, he truly shines. He has been working with a trainer to build confidence and is doing amazing — especially when he’s given time to settle in and trust at his own pace.<br/><br/>Once Phineas feels safe, his loving personality comes out in full. He enjoys affection, quiet companionship, and being near his people. He would do best in a calm, supportive home that understands shy dogs and is committed to continuing his confidence-building journey. A home that values structure, routine, and gentle encouragement will help him thrive.<br/><br/>Phineas is crate trained, doing great with his potty training, and has been living successfully with other dogs. He would do best with patient humans who see the beauty in a sensitive soul and are excited to help him continue growing into the confident dog he’s becoming.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted companion and are willing to move at his pace, Phineas may be the perfect match for you!
