This is Felix, the shelter's resident jumping bean! When he first came to Young-Williams, he refused to walk on a leash, but he is progressing quickly, he is very smart and learns very fast. He does like treats, but he much rather get scratches and attention. This little man would make a great hiking buddy, or a running buddy! If your interested in this guy, please come and meet him at Young-Williams Animal Village!
