Adopt Phillip

Male · Adult · 7 years

Phillip is a super sweet and friendly 7-year-old Lurcher Cross seeking an active home for outdoor adventures. He loves exploring and walking but needs help learning to settle when left alone. This gentle, affectionate boy could live with another large dog or sighthound with similar temperament, or as an only dog. He's suitable for homes with older secondary school-aged children or adults only. With patient, consistent guidance, he'll make a wonderful loyal family companion.
