My story

When you look at Phineas, you might see a big tough-looking dog at first, but what you are actually beholding is the babiest baby to ever baby in the history of babies. Phineas was born to snuggle. It is his life's purpose, and he knows that. Phineas wants to be one with your couch, your bed, your blankets, and you. He understands on a cellular level how important it is to be comfy cozy 100% of the time. Phineas does not believe in the grindset mindset, he does not hustle, and he refuses to labor for the ruling class. He is deeply committed to a life of peace and comfort, and who are we to stand between him and the sofa of his dreams? Weight: 61.2 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Housebroken: Yes! They will potty outside every time. Crate-trained: Yes! They will settle in the crate easily and are comfortable staying in it for 4+ hours. Leash behavior: Working on it! They may have some behaviors that will require continued positive reinforcement training. Dog sociability: They don't like them! They do not get along with other dogs and need to be the only dog in the home. Cat sociability: They do not do well with cats! They will chase, bite, attack, or otherwise harm or frighten cats. Kid sociability: No kids, please! They are afraid of kids or reactive toward them, or they have a history of behaviors that make them incompatible with children. Likes: CUDDLING! But also squeaky toys, Kongs, and being wrapped up in soft blankies at bedtime Dislikes: Not being wrapped up in soft blankies at bedtime If you’d like to meet Phineas, please fill out an adoption application at animalcareleague.org/adoptions and send us an email at adoption@animalcareleague.org to schedule an introduction!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Phineas, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
