🌟 Meet Phillip, the charming young mixed-breed companion who's ready to find his forever home! At just 1 year old and weighing in at approximately 39 pounds, Phillip is the epitome of canine beauty—though he could stand to gain a couple of pounds because we just want to see him shine even more! This handsome boy is likely a delightful mix of Plott Hound and Beagle, boasting a trim athletic build that's simply irresistible. Trust me, the photos don’t do him justice! 📸 But under that gorgeous exterior, there’s a heart that’s been scared. Poor Phillip trembled in fear at a rural shelter, and when he needed someone to rescue him, we stepped in. Now, it's time for him to blossom in a home where he feels safe and loved. ❤️ Phillip is all about exploration! He’s that dog who wants to sniff every single blade of grass in the yard; you just might find him on a sniff-venture! 🐾 He’s a good-natured pooch but a bit timid, which means he’ll need some time to open up and show his true colors. And guess what? He gets along fabulously with other dogs! 🐕 So if a busy canine family is your dream come true, Phillip would fit right in. To keep this handsome sniffer safe, he’ll need a yard that's physically fenced. 🏡 Are you ready to welcome this beautiful soul into your life? To meet Phillip, you must apply to adopt him through the Buddy App. You'll have a chance to meet him during our weekly adoption events, and don’t worry about making the commitment just yet—our fully vetted dogs go home with a one-week trial period to ensure it’s a perfect match! 🥰 We do ask that all current pets in the home are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on their vaccinations, heartworm and flea prevention because we care about everyone's health and happiness. Good vet references are required to confirm that all adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Let’s give Phillip the loving home he deserves! Apply now through the Buddy App! 🥳
