Meet Phil! Phil’s story is one of quiet resilience. Found in a shelter in Türkiye, this handsome boy has endured more than most dogs ever should. His life hasn’t been easy—years of untreated pain left him shut down, moving slowly, and unsure of the world around him. But Phil is finally getting the care he deserves, including a recent hip surgery that has already helped him move with far more comfort than before. Phil is still learning what it means to feel safe, and he takes a little time to trust new people. But once you give him the space, patience, and gentle reassurance he needs, he begins to reveal his soft, tender heart. He is incredibly handsome, with the prettiest eyes and the sweetest habit of lying with his paws crossed like the gentleman he is. Phil is looking for a calm, quiet home—one without young kids—where he can continue healing and slowly come out of his shell at his own pace. He’ll likely never be an adventure dog, and that’s okay. All Phil wants is a peaceful place to rest, feel safe, and be loved. If you can offer a soft spot to land and the patience to let a wounded soul bloom in his own time, Phil will reward you with a kind of gratitude and gentle companionship that is truly special. This boy has waited long enough for his chance at comfort, and he deserves a forever home filled with compassion and understanding. *** PLEASE NOTE *** -Age and breed are our best estimates and cannot be guaranteed. -The blue fence is 33.5" tall for height reference. -We are unable to test dogs with cats or children in Turkey due to location and circumstances.
