They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Philberto may have a distinguished "sugar face," but don't let it fool you—he's a five-year-old Shepherd mix who still brings the energy and playful spirit of a much younger dog to every room! With his signature "wiggle butt" greeting, Philberto welcomes everyone with a wagging tail and an irresistible, goofy grin. At SPCA Florida, this lovable companion shines as both a semi-pro in playfulness and a true friend to all. On walks, Philberto is a gentleman who sometimes pulls, but his eagerness to please and strong food motivation make him a breeze to train, especially if treats or tennis balls are involved. Tennis balls are his absolute favorite, closely followed by good old-fashioned butt scritches. He's social with other dogs and brings lighthearted fun everywhere he goes. Despite his playful demeanor, Philberto's gentle and sweet nature makes him just as happy lounging with his favorite humans as chasing a ball. If you’re searching for a loyal companion equally athletic and cuddly, Philberto is ready to bring joy to your home. Did you know that being born on April 23 makes Philberto a Taurus? Taurus pups are known for their devoted and affectionate personalities, and Philberto is no exception. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
