    I had a vet ofc call me to evaluate a dog deemed vicious & the owner requested she be put down. I arrived to a dog who was continually muzzle & sedated due to her "threatening manner". (Per her owner). She was overly timid but I quickly caught on to her fear of any item in my hand (?very telling) & any loud noise. I weaned her off all the sedatives, removed her muzzle & slowly showed her what caused certain sounds (car doors, dropped items, etc). It has taken almost a yr but she is sweet & loves it when anyone speaks to her. I was supposed to keep her for a 2 wk eval. She has now been with me 6 yrs :)

    I'm deeply appreciative & thankful to this Shelter's Animal Control Officers (ACO) who made the correct assessment & decision by refusing to take into account of Felix's former family's horrible lies. Felix's former family is despicable b/c of their lies they told the ACO just to ensure that they're successful in getting rid of Felix and they didn't even care that their terrible vicious lies could potentially be Felix's end of life.
    For Felix being only 5 months old, I love his bravery, calmness, friendliness & sweetness. After watching Felix's well-behaved mannerism, I have this strong inkling feeling as well as have faith that Felix will soon be adopted by his forever family, who'll love, spoil & cherish him, as he deserves it. I love Felix! I wish all the very best to beautiful sweet, Felix! ❤🐶🐾🐕❤

    Hi Rocky. In 2002 I adopted a dog off the street in rural Ethiopia. He was in bad shape with a fractured pelvis and leg. He was severely malnourished and tick/flea infested. I brought him back to North America with me (Canada). Our first weeks together were challenging as he wasn't accustomed to being inside, but he happily slept on the bed beside me. With love and care he turned from a scraggly dog into a beautiful pup, whose face you can see by my name. I had him for 13 wonderful years. I encourage anyone to rescue a dog. The love you receive in return will totally enrich your life.

      @@Nael-i6k you don’t have to live in that state. As long as the dog has the required immuno therapy, vaccines that the state pro claims and you have paid for the adoption I don’t see there being any problem with it. We live in Canada and we have rescued dogs from the USA. Just make sure you have your visa and all of your identification and it’s probably best to drive down to get the dog. Don’t want to put them on a airplane because they can freeze or they can get dehydrated and die very easily.. there is a new airline that only transports dogs with their owners. They get served on silver dishes, crystal and they are treated like royalty. You should do research on this! Good Luck!

      nicely) had thrown two kittens in the dumpster. I was able to reach one & get
      her out but the other one got out a hole in the bottom. I tried to keep her alive
      with powdered kitten liquid but she was too weak & died 2 days later.

      Pull up in the driveway they go absolutely crazy before I can get out of my truck their already jumping in my truck and I just love every minute of their happiness I rotate them so they go on trips with me and lol don’t tell the wife I said this but they are so much better company then she is lol jk but like I said the only people that your animals rely upon to so them love comfort and give them love is you without us they have no one so damn it if you are going to get a dog or a cat it doesn’t matter what you decide to get you have better to take on that responsibility because when you get the animal that you want and your sorry azz decides that you don’t want him or her anymore and you replace them to a new home or a shelter you are just destroying their hearts and their confidence to live so if you are that lowlife piece of 💩 that only thinks of yourself please don’t go and get a dog cat bird snake fish man whatever it is that has a heart please don’t get it if you don’t love yourself

    My current rescue dog, when surrendered to his foster, had this label put on him by his previous owner. He was a puppy that she kept all day in a crate in a shed, making the congenital deformity of his front legs worse. When I talked to his foster lady who took him in, she said he was a sweetie, and she took him over to her neighbors to test him with kids: he passed with flying colors. We have had him for a little more than 12 years now, and he's the most calm and sweet Scottie I've owned (out of four). I'm so glad his first owner did not turn him into the shelter or to animal control with this story about him being aggressive (she even said she thought he should be euthanized)--that might have been the end for him. Here's wishing Felix the most loving, doting family--he deserves it.

Took a minute but 5 years later he was the biggest cuddle buddy loved my grand daughter to death and became the most gentle guy in the world.
    I had him for another 6 years and recently lost him to cancer. Dogs are not born vicious ppl make them vicious. I will probably save my next guy/gal eventually but my heart is so broken right now. I also like the older dogs bc puppies go first and these dogs just languish. Adopt don't buy.❤ ❤❤

    Dogs are a reflection of their owners - what you put out is returned to you ten fold. That is the gift they give us and why what you do for these mistreated and often sad pups is so important - I felt your incredible love and so did Felix and Flip. Thank you.

    I know huskies can be very energetic and mouthy in play. I do think people who are uninformed about huskies can mistake this for aggression.

      @@rslone6474 my husky shepherd mix was such an energetic pup when she was young. I think someone who is not aware how high energy these dogs can be might think it’s too much for them to handle.

      Same applies to a lot of breeds. Some people are just clueless sometimes! Anyone who wants to be a dog owner should do a lot of research before doing so.

      Huskies or Shepsky’s are very intelligent dogs but require time and patience. I have a Shepsky and you have to keep them stimulated and they are very fast learners. Some people get a dog and forget puppies need to be trained!

    Aww, Felix! Sweet pup. He looks like an Alaskan sled dog. Getting him with the puppy pack and on walks is the BEST medicine to heal his broken heart. He was born to move! And it looks like he'll be a big boy. Love this joyful guy!

    Oh that face! Felix obviously hasn’t been cared for or loved, so thank you for being his angel. My heart broke when Alexis was telling his story about him being vicious, and did you see his face? Omg he was heartbroken, as if he understood every word. ❤️
