My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

✨ Meet Felix — the Stoic Softie with Surprise Zoomies ✨
7–10 years old • Larger Red Aussie • Neutered • Controlled Diabetic
Felix is a big gentle, affectionate bear with a calm and loving soul. He is an incredibly loyal companion who will devote himself fully to his future family. Felix is quiet and well-mannered, rarely barking, and he has the sweetest habit of looking up at you with soft, admiring eyes that will melt your heart. He is truly a gentle soul waiting for someone to love him as much as he will love them. 🤎
Found with his friend Minnie near I-40 outside Amarillo, and after every effort to locate an owner, Felix is officially ready for his forever home — and wow, is someone going to be lucky.
Felix is a gentle, respectful, easy-going guy who wins people over instantly. He’s calm, well-mannered, and carries himself like a true gentleman… until the zoomies hit — then he turns into the funniest, happiest potato you’ve ever seen. 😂💨
He is:
✅ House trained
✅ Crate trained — waits patiently, never soils
✅ Walks beautifully on leash
✅ Great with adults
✅ Knows basic commands + a trick or two
✅ LOVES treats & showing off
Dog-wise, Felix isn’t unfriendly — he just prefers polite introductions and can be a bit stiff or dominant when meeting others. He’s not looking for dog park life, and that’s okay. He’d thrive as the only dog or with a calm, submissive female.
A few things to know:
🍽️ Slightly protective around food/water — understandable, manageable
💉 Controlled diabetic and will need lifelong insulin — he’s doing great on it
🎆 Not aggressive — just confident, seasoned, and self-assured
Felix’s whole vibe is “big teddy bear who’s seen some things but still believes in love.” He’s steady, affectionate, loyal, and happiest simply being near his people — bonus points if you laugh at his occasional zoomies.
Best home for Felix:
✨ Adults or older kids
✨ Routine, structure, and compassion
✨ Someone who appreciates a mature, deeply loyal Aussie
If you’re looking for a dog who is loving, calm, quietly hilarious, and ready to devote his whole heart to you…
💛 Felix is your guy. 💛

Additional adoption info

All applications for adoption are considered based on the wants of the adopter and the needs of each individual animal.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

After being approved by a team member, you'll be able to schedule a meet and greet with the pup that best matches your needs.

All of our pets are in private foster homes and many times the meeting will happen in a safe public location.

All animals are available to begin their home trials once the meeting has concluded and the rescue agrees to allow the pet to move forward to this stage.
