    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! ❤🐶🐾🐕❤

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.❤ ❤❤

    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.

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!

      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.

    That dog ain't vicious, that's a sweet pup if i've ever seen one. Whoever said he is vicious just to get him away has lost all my respect. Get some sleep, Felix a life full of zoomies, treats and pets await.
    When you teared up about Flip, i teared up too. You're a good person Rocky ❤

      Yeah, I never got any feeling that he was vicious, just really scared and confused.

    Tears rolling down, sorry you lost your dog-family member.
    Longer ago I lost mine (13+-old mixed Berner Sennenhund-mum/Golden Retriever-paps) and I am sad and tears running down my face when I am thinking of him and our adventures; took him from a family - when I first saw him in their garden as a nearly new born, visiting twice a week till he was 12 weeks old to take him with me; we visited for years his mum and some brothers/sisters who were adopted near bye) .
    Always having a bigger dog, I just felt in love with Felix - and I feel so sorry to live in Europe/Austria, but its too far away. Hope Felix will find a lovely family, where he is a beloved family member till his last day.
    I am sure Flip is proud of you, and your remarkable "work" (its joy)❣
    Hugs from Sabine/Austria🇦🇹

    @21:23 he let you rub his paw, and his eyes slowly shut, ommggg he's sooo sweet! You got him out his corner, he laid infront of you(not quivered in the corner like the begining) and took a well deserved nap, you made him feel safe and probably most relaxed he's ben....that was so great to see

    He's beautiful. Someone needs to rescue him from the shelter soon. I'd love to have a dog like him.

    Aw! When he licked your finger! That was how I became 'Granny' to my rescue dog. 'Mummy' had to reliquish him and we sat on a bench talking (about my dog and her dog) and he licked me. She said he had never done that before, so I had to have him. After so many years, I still have him and we are growing old together. Walks on the common every day. Shorter and slower but oh, so lovely.

    How can people be so cruel? These dogs just love as best as they can.

    He is so beautiful. This poor baby. Yes, he is so sad. When you are intuitive, you can feel what the emotion is in the room.

      He is beautiful he is not mean. The people who had him are a nasty people who would lie about him.

    Most dogs just seem to love you hanging out with them...talking... just being there. I think it helps distract them from what's going on around them. They often fall asleep which is pretty cool.

    I can see an amazing little fur baby here..he obviously was mistreated severely! ❤❤..I have a husky Shepard mix…rescued from a parking lot where he was abandoned..this fella looks very much like my FJ, (who I had dna tested so I had some idea of his breed)..he’s the most loyal and lovable dog I’ve ever had…but it took some time to get my FJ healthy and in a state of trust with me…it was worth all the effort…he’s the best fur baby I’ve ever had!…I see the same potential in this gorgeous baby! Blessings and much love Rocky for all you do❤❤❤

    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. ❤️

    Not a vicious bone in this dog.
    Felix, I hope that you find your new family soon. You've got a friend in Germany.
