My story

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

🌍🤍🐾 Meet Felix — The World Traveler Searching for His Safe Place 🐾🤍🌍

Male | Almost 5 years old | 15 lbs | Jack Russell Terrier Mix

Felix arrived at Aloha ʻĪlio Rescue just a few days ago, and he brought more than just his tiny suitcase…

He brought a lifetime of memories. Originally from Spain, Felix traveled the world with his owner by his side - his person, his protector, his whole heart. He even has his very own passport to prove it. 🛂✈️

But when his person passed away, everything changed.

Felix and his brother Astro were surrendered because their family couldn’t come to get them. The only life he ever knew was suddenly gone. And just like that… his world became quiet.

Now, Felix is a shy, timid little guy trying to learn how to feel safe again. He’s cautious around new people and fast movements scare him but if you sit with him, breathe slowly, and have a pocket full of treats 🍖… he starts to soften. He watches you. He inches closer. He gathers his courage.

And once he trusts you?

He becomes the sweetest snuggle bug, finding his way into your arms, curling into your chest like he’s finally home again. 🥹🤍 He doesn’t ask for much. Just calm energy. Quiet moments. Gentle hands. A safe heart to land in.
