Furry Tails: Felix Is Waiting For A Forever Home

Are you looking to bring a pet into your home? Local animal shelters are a great place to find a furry companion. So, as part of Furry Tails, I'll be doing an ongoing feature on adoptable pets from local animal shelters once a week. If you have room in your heart and are looking to bring a lovable ball of fur into your home, maybe one of these guys is meant to be a part of your family!

Felix

Animal Friends

Poor Felix has been a shelter dog for far too long! This lovable guy needs a forever family able to show him what caring, compassion, patience and love are all about!

Animal Friends's Pet Profile:
Felix came to Animal Friends from another shelter in April of 2015. During his time here, Felix has slowly started to feel the weight and stress of being in a shelter environment. He has started to become mouthy when overstimulated. This mouthiness deters people from giving Felix a chance to show how sweet and loving he truly is.

Felix enjoys the company of people, but we are recommending that he not live with kids any younger than 8-years-old due to his rough-play habits. He loves riding in the car and volunteers have reported he has even fallen asleep in the backseat! Felix likes to spend time with staff in their offices and entertains staff members by showing off his toys and his ability to hide and find them. He has gone home for a sleepover with a volunteer and Felix spent most of his time relaxing with her while she worked in her home office.

Felix needs a home without other dogs or cats. He also needs a family willing to teach him to redirect his behavior with proper training. Felix will make a wonderful addition to the right family!

If you can help, come to Animal Friends at 562 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, Pa., 15237 or call 412-847-7002. For more information on how you can adopt any of the pets at Animal Friends, visit their website here!
