My story

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

How this pet arrived:
Felipe was brought in by a Field Service Officer on November 5, 2025.

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Felipe! Felipe wandered in one day with the softest eyes and the calmest presence... and absolutely zero awareness of just how big he is. According to him, he's a compact lap dog who should absolutely be allowed to drape his whole body across yours at any moment. He recently had his right back leg amputated on 11/12/25, and he's adjusting to the tripod life with steady determination. He'll be taking it slow while he rebuilds strength, and he'll be rocking his E-collar until his staples come out around 12/1. He's not a fan of the fashion statement, but he's handling it with admirable patience. He has had some straining when he pees - something that started before surgery. His tests and x-rays didn't show a cause, though the post-op inflammation may have made it more noticeable. If it keeps up, a quick vet visit is recommended. Felipe is a sweet gentle giant with a heart that feels too big for his body. He leans in close, nudges your hand softly, and somehow manages to squeeze his whole giant self into your lap like it's the most natural thing in the world. And once he's healed? That goofy, playful, bounce-around spirit is ready to burst out - the one that makes you laugh and shake your head and think, how is this huge marshmallow so sweet? Are you ready to help him bounce back and celebrate every wiggly, giant goofball moment ahead? Come meet him and fall head over paws!
