Phillip is a handsome lad who came into our care as a stray in June 2021, so he has been with us for a long time now bless him. He has been rehomed once but was returned after a week due to his behaviour/showing aggression towards visitors in the home.

Since Phillip has been with us for so long we know him really well now and do feel that he will make an amazing companion in the right quiet home, he will suit a home with minimal visitors and owners who will be sensible and seperate Phillip if needed when people do come over. He tends to bond to people quite quickly and is generally a friendly lad but he can occasionally take a dislike to some people so any new owners must be confident on managing his strength and reading his behaviour. He is a loyal boy who is a great companion on walks and loves his trusted people. Due to his history he needs a home without children and cannot be around visiting children either.

Although the above paragraph may come across quite negative – we do have to be honest as we really would love to find him the right forever home, he is currently in his prime years and it is so sad that he has been waiting for so long. He will be the perfect adventure buddy as he loves long walks, playing in water and generally exploring. Here at the rescue he loves running around the paddock and splashing in the paddling pools. Once he gets to know you, he’ll be your loyal companion and will shower you with love and attention. He is looking for a home as the only pet, he is usually good with most dogs he meets but does take the occasional disliking to some. He does have good play skills and with further socialisation we know he will continue to improve.

Although he has been here for a few years now, please don’t let that discourage you, Phil really is an amazing boy who’s a favorite among our staff and volunteers.

If you’re interested in adopting Phil, we encourage you to fill in an application form and we can have a chat and invite you for an appointment – please note that he will require multiple visits to get to know him and receive guidance from our behaviour team. Phil has a lot of potential and we’re confident that he’ll make a great addition to the right home. Come meet him and let’s find him his forever family!
