Philip is a gentle, sensitive hound who takes life at his own pace. He was found as a stray, painfully thin and covered in ticks, with all his teeth worn down—leaving him with a tender, pouty expression and a tongue that sometimes peeks out. Philip didn’t do well in the bustle of the shelter, but now he’s got room to build up his confidence and start to shine. Bath time isn’t his favorite thing, but he’s learning the ropes and responds to a song and a soft touch. At about 45 pounds and around three years old, Philip has a lot of quiet charm. He gets along with both cats and dogs and is house trained, making him a flexible addition to different kinds of homes. If you’re looking for a companion with a sweet nature and an underdog’s spirit, Philip may be your guy. Click apply to start the adoption process.
