Adopt FELIX

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

FELIX – ready for a second, better chapter❣️ I am FELIX – a good-natured, young male dog full of energy, zest for life, and curiosity. I belong to the dogs who wake up in the morning thinking: “Today is going to be a good day.” And that’s exactly how I live. I once had an owner. Then I suddenly found myself in the animal shelter. Why? Honestly: I don’t know. Did he run out of time? Did the love fade? Or was it ultimately just a financial decision? It doesn’t really matter anymore – because now a new future begins for me. I am agile, active, and ready to experience the world from its most beautiful side again. I want to run, explore, sniff around, play, and have people by my side who enjoy life just as much as I do. Everyone at the animal shelter likes me very much – maybe because I’m always friendly, maybe because I spread good vibes, or maybe because I’m simply a dog with a heart in the right place. I wish for a home where my energy is welcome. People who enjoy movement but also enjoy shared breaks, cuddles, and genuine connection. I’m still a bit shy and need some time, but I’m ready to bond – and I hope you are too. I am FELIX – and I firmly believe that my name stands for happiness. I would be delighted to perhaps soon be your happiness.

FELIX – bereit für ein zweites, besseres Kapitel❣️ Ich bin FELIX – ein gut gelaunter, junger Rüde voller Energie, Lebenslust und Neugier. Ich gehöre zu den Hunden, die morgens aufstehen und denken: „Heute wird ein guter Tag.“ Und genau so lebe ich auch. Ich hatte einmal einen Besitzer. Dann stand ich plötzlich im Tierheim. Warum? Ganz ehrlich: Ich weiß es nicht. Hatte er keine Zeit mehr? War die Liebe weg? Oder war es am Ende einfach eine finanzielle Entscheidung? Eigentlich spielt es keine Rolle mehr – denn jetzt beginnt für mich eine neue Zukunft. Ich bin agil, aktiv und bereit, die Welt noch einmal von ihrer schönsten Seite zu erleben. Ich möchte laufen, entdecken, schnüffeln, spielen und dabei Menschen an meiner Seite haben, die genauso viel Freude am Leben haben wie ich. Im Tierheim mögen mich alle sehr – vielleicht, weil ich immer freundlich bin, vielleicht, weil ich gute Laune verbreite, oder vielleicht, weil ich einfach ein Hund bin, der das Herz am richtigen Fleck trägt. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause, in dem meine Energie willkommen ist. Menschen, die Lust auf Bewegung haben, aber auch auf gemeinsame Pausen, Streicheleinheiten und echte Verbundenheit. Ich bin noch etwas schüchtern und brauche ein wenig Zeit, aber bin bereit, mich zu binden – und ich hoffe, du auch. Ich bin FELIX – und ich glaube fest daran, dass mein Name Programm ist: Glück. Ich würde mich freuen, vielleicht bald dein Glück zu sein.

About FELIX

What life with FELIX looks like

FELIX is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting FELIX, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about FELIX?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw FELIX on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt FELIX if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is FELIX already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if FELIX isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know FELIX and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
