Meet Phil! He's a very adorable and energetic boy. He was running loose in Springfield, posted many places, and never claimed. Unfortunately, his foster family couldn't keep him and we were unable to adopt, so Phil is at the Haven searching for his forever home. Phil is very friendly and social and very much wants to be with his people, so he's not a backyard kind of dog. He's a family dog. He likes other pups but wants to play and rough house, so a playful dog sibling will be the best match. Phil LOVES toys and hopes to have lots of them in his new home! Phil is active, smart, and responds very well to instruction. He is extremely trainable and would love an owner who knows the basics of working with a dog on leash manners and basic commands. He's doing pretty nicely with his crate training and will do well continuing with it. Phil is likely a cattle dog and can be a little mouthy (he will learn not to do this with just a little work), so he probably isn't a good choice for small children at this point. Phil's estimated DOB is 6/2/2024 and his weight is about 45 pounds. He is a VERY good boy who deserves all the best. Please meet Phil at the Haven open 9-4 each day and help make his stay at the sanctuary a short one! All of our pets are fixed, up to date on their vaccinations, and microchipped. The Haven of the Ozarks is open from 9am-4pm, seven days a week. No appointment needed for adopters. For more information, email havenozarksanctuary@gmail.com, or give us a call at 417-835-3647. Save time at the shelter and submit your adoption application at www.havenoftheozarks.org/adopt.
