Weight: 6lbs
Estimated birthday: 10/18/25

Don’t let this tiny girl fool you... Phyllis may only weigh about 6 pounds, but she has a BIG personality with that wild fur-do!

Phyllis was found wandering the streets of Houston with her buddy, Sherwood (also up for adoption). Life on the streets has taught this little girl to be a bit cautious, so she may need a little time to warm up and decide you’re her person. But once she does...get ready for the cuddles!

Phyllis is a sweet little cuddle bug who absolutely loves belly rubs, scratches, and being close to her people. She is dog-friendly, potty trained, and crate trained, and she’s ready to trade her days on the streets for a cozy couch and a family of her own.

She may be a tiny package with a little feistiness, but underneath it all is a loving, affectionate girl who just needs someone willing to give her a little patience while she gets comfortable.

Give Phyllis a chance, and you might just find your new best friend... one who fits perfectly in your lap and takes up a HUGE space in your heart.

- Fully vaccinated, microchipped, & spayed/neutered
- Kennel & potty trained
- Dog friendly (cats and kids likely)
- located in Houston, TX (transport available out of state!) ***PLEASE NOTE: pickup locations of transported dogs may vary, including to nearby towns or states.***
