Felix’s story is so very sad, we are beyond disappointed in what he went through. We rescued Felix many years ago out of a high kill shelter in CA when he was going to lose his life & was going to be put to sleep at the age of 1. We bought him back to WA state & took care of all his medical & found him what we thought was a wonderful home. Well were we wrong. We were contacted by a shelter in WA state letting us know he had been dumped in the shelter & his owners did not want him anymore. They did not reach out to us & let us know as we would have taken him back immediately. The shelter knew we rescued him because we were on his microchip & his previous home did not bother to update his microchip. We went & picked up Felix immediately & he was safe & sound & back in our care & is in his loving foster home. He was so happy to see us & it broke our hearts that he had to go through this again. But now he is doing amazing & the loveliest little guy you will ever meet. He will be your world & you his. Felix just wants to be loved & be with you. In his foster home he eats clean. Fruits, vegetables, grains, raw meat & other proteins along with supplements. He also adores a good homemade treat along with collagen sticks & bully sticks. Felix is a very soft gentle soul, he is so easy his foster mum said considering what he has endured. His foster mum said Felix is a very sweet dog & loves everyone he meets. He loved our vet & even enjoyed going to our vets. This boy will look at you with so much gratitude & admiration. Lays with you & can't be happier being petted & touched. He also loves to be with his buddies & just lay with them or do whatever they are doing. She said he is really such a good & smart boy. He also enjoys snuggling on a huge pile of blankets & spend his day relaxing. He enjoys sleeping in bed with you or his dog friends. His foster mum still cannot believe someone would be so cruel & neglectful to Felix not just once, but twice. This boy is ready for an outfit to as he enjoys wearing them. Felix’s new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard for his safety if it’s a freestanding home. He enjoys going out into the backyard in his foster home & having a wander around & sunning himself on warm days. Felix has been great with his baths because he started having them with us in his loving foster home the moment he was rescued so he is used to them. He has also started getting used to being dried with a hairdryer. He will just let you dry him. He loves his foster mum & dad & his foster friends. He has put on a good amount of weight since being in his loving foster home & was so thin when first rescued again. Felix rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & will sit in his car seat next to you with his dog friends. He also enjoys looking out the window. Felix is a wonderful walker on his harness & leash & loves going on many walks. We are looking for a forever home for Felix where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lad only. He was left in a cage in the shelter until we rescued him. Felix is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Felix has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & fostered with other dogs in his foster home & does well with them & enjoys their company. But he definitely could be an only dog in his new home & get all the attention. Felix is roughly 7 years old & we He is 17 lbs & is perhaps a carin terrier, shi tzu mix, what he is mixed with we are not sure at all. He is male, neutered. He just had a dental scale & polish along & had 2 teeth removed. He has a grade 2 out of 6 heart murmur but we were He arrived so extremely thin & had put on weight in his loving foster home again. He is microchipped, up to date on his shots, including DHPP, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we do not redo them only rabies as we do not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. Felix has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had him around small children in the rescue so we do not recommend children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when Felix was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Felix friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Felix potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Felix has been through many traumas in his short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for his care. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Felix & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Felix who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Felix has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

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