For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Phineus, or Phinney as he's affectionately known, is the ultimate cuddle bug! This sweet Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix adores being with people and will happily snuggle with you all day long. Phinney is fantastic with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a perfect addition to a loving household with a variety of furry or human companions.
This little guy is doing his best with potty training, and while he still gets up once during the night for a quick potty break, he goes right back to sleep and stays snoozing until morning. Phinney sleeps best when he's in bed with his people, soaking up all the love and warmth. He's learning to use the potty pads well and is getting the hang of going outside when taken.
Phinney's sweet personality has captured the hearts of everyone who meets him-he's been called one of the cutest and sweetest pups ever! He travels well in the car, has no concerning behavior, and thrives in a home where he can be with his people all day. If you're looking for a loving, gentle companion who just wants to be close, Phineus is your perfect match!
* Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results. We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on. Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
