My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Felix the Walker hound is a good-times boy, looking for a family to call his own. Felix spent almost 2 years in the shelter before going to Camp Merricks to foster. At Camp he meets lots of dogs of all types and sizes. He loves to play and is good with both large and small dogs. When introduced to cats at the shelter he avoided them.

He enjoys his soft bed in his crate and loves to put his head on his foster mom's shoulder and snuggle. He is affectionate and doesn't know a stranger.

Felix is middle aged but still has a lot of energy to go hiking or camping. He has a typical ground voice, but has learned to stop when told to do so. Felix is as handsome as dogs get and can't wait to meet you. To meet Felix contact Camp Merricks at info@campmerricks.com.
