Update: Phillie was adopted on August 14th!Phillie longs achingly to believe in people again.
He is drawn to gentle, soft-spoken women, while loud men terrify him. He just never wants to be beaten again.
Phillie is a petite Chihuahua, neutered male, about 8 years of age.
He enjoys other dogs, plus another dog in the home may help him adjust and gain confidence in his new lifestyle and routine.
Phillie is reportedly a picky eater, so a variety of food and treats (and a sense of calm at feeding times) may help him keep his interest in food.
