When his older owner could no longer take care of him, Felix found himself at the shelter living in a cage instead of a home like he was used to. This transition, however, has not dampened his spirits any. He is a real love always wanting attention and, well, food! He has a healthy appetite, that's for sure! But what he desires most is a wonderful new home where he can be petted to within an inch of his life. Really, he told us so! He never wants it to stop and we are sure there is someone out there who will fulfill his greatest desire. Is that you? Stop by the shelter and help this guy celebrate his own independence!

Potential adoptors should realize that there are a lot of bully breed mixes out there. These breeds, while they do have their quirks, also have a bad rap. It is a well-known fact that well-managed, responsibly owned pit bulls are some of the best family dogs. The American Temperament Test Society lists this breed as one of the most stable temperaments of any of the purebreds, right up there with golden retrievers. The American Pit Bull Terrier especially likes to lick children's faces and wag their tail. They often tolerate the rough-and-tumble play of children and are easily trained due to their eagerness to please. Visit badrap.org to find out more about the breed.
