Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Felix! At 2 years and 8 months old and 58 lbs, this chocolate-brown sweetheart is the perfect mix of playful energy and irresistible snuggles. When he first heads out, Felix can be a bit high-energy, but once he’s with “his” person, he settles right in and becomes the ultimate Velcro dog. In the home, he loves nothing more than curling up beside you, drifting off into a cozy snore, and soaking in all the affection he can get.
Felix is housetrained with a routine and is currently working on his crate training. He forms attachments quickly, so he can feel a little anxious when separated from his people, but with patience and consistency he continues to improve. Despite his size, Felix is incredibly gentle and has done wonderfully when meeting kids. Due to his size and strength, he'd likely be best suited for kids 8+ years old. He may occasionally pop up for a soft “hug,” but he redirects easily into a polite sit.
This smart boy already knows “sit” and “shake/paw,” and he’s very treat-motivated—taking every treat with a gently. Once he’s fully comfortable, he enjoys toys and loves sniffing around outside. He sometimes needs a minute to warm up on walks because there’s so much to explore, but once he gets going, he finds his groove. Felix can be strong on leash at first, but with a harness he becomes much more manageable.
Soft, sweet, and deeply loving, Felix is looking for adopters who can provide an active lifestyle, a little patience, and a whole lot of companionship. With the right people, he’ll flourish into the devoted, joyful family member he’s meant to be.
Felix has had positive interactions with other dogs, but may initially come on a bit strong. He should do well with a playful canine siblings with slow intros. As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.
To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
