How do I contact the shelter about Felix?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life 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 — Care-4-life 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 Care-4-life 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.

Felix

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

If you are interested in our dear Felix, please send us our completed "Our dogs" form. Felix, like all our dogs, usually comes directly from Turkey to his family. What we know about Felix: Stop! If you want to lose your heart to a big, kind dog, you don't need to click any further! Felix, born around 2023, has three very special qualities. First: Will to survive. Even as a small, unvaccinated puppy, Felix had distemper. But that didn't stop him from becoming healthy and growing up strong. With his proud shoulder height of over 60 centimeters, he proves every day that he wants to live. Second: Gentleness. He cautiously, yet friendly, approaches people and wants to explore us two-legged beings with great curiosity. Felix is social and friendly to everyone. No matter what comes, Felix thinks it's better to be nice. Third: Magic eyes. He can't help it, but with his slightly cross-eyed, darkly framed look, no one can just walk past him. At least once, people always stop to sniff and caress Felix when they pass by his crate. He doesn't beg, he just wants contact. And we gladly give it to him. Unfortunately, there is not enough time for cuddling with Felix in the hectic daily routine of the dog farm. He wishes for a home where he can truly belong and further develop his unique abilities. Nice to know: His lower jaw still occasionally twitches due to his previously overcome distemper, but it bothers him little.

Bei Interesse an unserem lieben Felix schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Unsere Hunde - so auch Felix - kommen in der Regel direkt aus der Türkei zu ihren Familien. Was wir über Felix wissen: Halt! Wer sein Herz an einen großen, lieben Hund verlieren möchte, braucht nicht weiterklicken! Felix, geboren ca. 2023, bringt drei ganz besondere Eigenschaften mit. Erstens: Überlebenswillen. Schon als kleiner, ungeimpfter Welpe hatte Felix Staupe. Das hat ihn aber nicht daran gehindert, wieder gesund und groß zu werden. Mit seinen stolzen 60+ Zentimetern Schulterhöhe beweist er dem Leben jeden Tag, dass er es leben möchte. Zweitens: Sanftheit. Vorsichtig und dennoch zutraulich begegnet er uns Menschen und will uns Zweibeiner voller Neugier erforschen. Felix ist sozial und freundlich zu allen. Egal was kommt, ich bin mal lieber nett, denkt sich Felix. Drittens: Zauberaugen. Er kann ja nichts dafür, aber mit seinem leicht schielenden, dunkel eingerahmten Blick kann niemand einfach so an ihm vorbei gehen. Wenigstens einmal Schnuppern und Streicheln ist jedes Mal drin, wenn Menschen an Felix Zwinger vorbeikommen. Betteln tut er trotzdem nicht, er möchte einfach nur Kontakt. Und den geben wir ihm gern. Leider bleibt zum Kuscheln mit Felix im hektischen Alltag des Hundehofs zu wenig Zeit. Er wünscht sich ein Zuhause, in dem er richtig ankommen darf und seine einmaligen Fähigkeiten weiterentwickeln kann. Nice to know: Sein Unterkiefer zuckt noch gelegentlich wegen seiner überstandenen Staupe, doch ihn selbst stört das wenig.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
