My story

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

My name is Felix and I'm a 10 year old gentleman. I weigh 35 pounds and probably should weigh a bit more. Some really kind people at an East Alabama shelter, where I found myself, called AGB to find me a new, wonderful home. I guess my former owner didn't care too much what happened to me but all the shelter workers and the AGB folk fell in love with me because they say I have such a great temperament and I'm quiet and docile and I just melted under their touch. Perhaps I should be called "Mr. Precious" instead of Felix. I'm quite spry and I'm very smart. I'm also cute and I look younger than my years. A lyric of a John Lennon song is "Nobody loves you when you're old and grey" so I'm really glad to hear that I'm lovable even though I'm a Golden with cloudy eyes and I don't always hear that great. I got bad arthritis and the vets have started me on pain management medicine. I'm heart worm positive so I need to be treated and that can be tough on an older fellow like me. I also have a grape sized subcutaneous chest mass that needs a fine needle aspiration to rule out any bad diagnosis. I guess you could say I can't catch a break but, for an older fellow, I'm happy to nuzzle against you, spend time with you and fall in love for the last time in my life with you. Maybe take a chance on me? You won't regret it!
