About Phil
Phil is a compact terrier mix, around three years old and about 37 lbs. His short black coat and laid-back patio presence make him easy to have around. He’s got a real fondness for kids—Phil is gentle and likely to greet them with face-licks rather than any rough play. He shares space well with other dogs, enjoying romps and playful wrestling in his foster home, where he’s happiest running around the yard, especially if there’s a fence for his zoomies. Phil’s not clingy, but he will sneak into bed for the night, and he’s all for a quiet car ride or a backyard game of catch. He’s still learning some basics, but he’ll sit for you as patiently as a pro. Phil does well in a crate but loves being close to his people, especially after a good hike. He sometimes strikes a tough pose, though most of the time he’s flashing a goofy smile. His interactions with cats haven’t been tested. Phil seems like a steady, affectionate companion for families—particularly those with kids, another playful pup, and a fenced yard. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
