About Felix

Felix is a 5 year old, 70lbs pure bred red heeler. He has been in our care since he was 6 weeks old. Felix is in need of an owner that can handle his special needs. Overall, Felix is a wonderful dog that wants to be by your side at all times, protect you, and have his belly rubbed. Felix loves long walks and runs. He knows basic commands and enjoys agility. Felix is not a confident dog. He has anxiety issues and is territorial; he can show aggression while protecting his family and in certain stressful situations. Once you are introduced to him, he's a big teddy bear. He loves kids (but can be rough due to his size, he's a big cattle dog) and does fine with our cats. Felix does like to nip and can get mouthy. He is good at giving warning signals when he is unhappy with a situation like being crated. It is recommended he go to a home without another dog and with an owner that has experience with the challenges of a low-confident dog.
