My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there Biggie Paws Family! We are so pleased to introduce you to this precious pup, Philip!

Philip looks like an Aussie/Chihuahua mix, is around 10 weeks old and is just a little peanut! To give you an idea of how small he is right now, his foster family weighed him using a food scale! He weighed a grand total of …

> Insert drum roll here < 🥁

About 6-7 pounds!! Even though he is small in size, Philip has such a BIG heart! He loves to snuggle and be near his humans!

Philip is staying in Kenosha, WI with his brother and is enjoying getting to know his foster family. They’ve noticed that he doesn’t like loud noises or really fast movements and he’s a little shy at first - we can’t blame him, that’s a lot for a little guy! Once he warms up to you though, you'll have a friend (and maybe a puppy shadow) for life! Phillip won't turn down cuddles, a chance to be held, or share some puppy kisses. He'll even fall asleep in your arms like a human baby! 👶

As you can tell, Phillip is a loving and affectionate dog! 🥰 He is still a puppy though and is working on the typical puppy things like going to the bathroom outside, walking on a leash and redirecting those puppy nibbles! His foster family says that he is doing great so far and is such a smartie! Philip is friendly with other dogs, but same as with humans …he takes a little time to warm up to them. We’re not sure if he’s friendly with cats, 🐱but since he’s such a friendly guy, we think he would get along well with them too!

After a busy day of being a puppy, Philip loves to cuddle up with his brother on their dog bed and sleep in their playpen together. He has been fine in a crate for car rides, but he hasn’t really slept in one.

Philip is up-to-date on all his age-appropriate shots and will be microchipped before adoption. His adoption fee is $500 with a $150 deposit for his neuter (he is too young for the surgery at this time, so the $150 will be refunded when proof of a timely neuter is given to Biggie Paws). If you think you and Philip would be a good fit and are interested in being considered to adopt him, please fill out the application below!
