Introducing Phil — the bonus dwarf with the biggest heart!

Phil is part of our “7 Dwarves” litter... except there were actually eight puppies, so naturally this sweet extra was named after Phil — one of the writers of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We figured every good story needs a Phil, and trust us... this little boy is a story worth telling.

Phil and his siblings survived something no puppy ever should have to. Born in the woods during the coldest stretch of winter, they were tucked away in the freezing wilderness with their devoted mama (50lb blue heeler) doing everything she could to keep them alive. It’s honestly a miracle they made it. Our volunteers refused to let their story end there. Around midnight when temperatures were dropping into the teens, our team secured the family and turned their future around forever. T

Now Phil is safe, warm, loved — and just over two months old with his whole life ahead of him.

Let’s talk about this boy. He’s sweet-natured, cuddly, with a touch of puppy chaos. He absolutely loves snuggling up after a good play session. Of course, he and his siblings get into their fair share of adorable puppy mischief — wrestling matches, zoomies, and the occasional “who chewed that?” mystery. It’s all part of the charm.

Phil will be neutered mid-March and ready to travel to his forever home shortly after. Like all puppies his age, he won’t arrive fully housebroken and he’ll need patience, consistency, and love while he learns the ropes. Puppies are work — there’s no sugarcoating that. But the time, effort, and devotion you pour in come back to you tenfold in loyalty, laughter, and unconditional love.

We are looking for a truly FOREVER family for Phil — one that understands adoption is a lifetime commitment. A family who will treasure the miracle he is, who will guide him as he grows, and who will promise to stand by him through every stage of life. Phil survived the cold woods. Now he’s ready for a warm, devoted home of his own.

LOCATION & TRANSPORT:

This dog is currently in South Mississippi. Local and out-of-town adopters are welcome.

Our transports run every 2-3 weeks to that location.) We cannot adopt to Rhode Island due to import restrictions.

VETTING:

All of our dogs are cleared by a licensed veterinarian for transport and arrive to their adopters spayed/neutered with age-appropriate vaccines completed and are microchipped. Note: We cannot guarantee full grown size or breed mix. Both are guesses based on physical characteristics and any known history.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
