Felix

Whippet Β· Male Β· Young Β· 2 years

Felix is a blue coloured male Whippet cross Bedlington, born November 2024. He has been given up reluctantly by his previous owner due to a change in circumstances. Felix is a friendly boy with a nice temperament and is fine with other dogs. He has lived with older children, is housetrained and crate trained. He has also lived with cats but this is never a guarantee that he would be fine with other cats. For further info, please call us on .

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a young adult whippet dog waiting at Barnsley and District Animal Welfare in United Kingdom.

A 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Felix, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Felix?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Barnsley and District Animal Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Barnsley and District Animal Welfare whether they will for Felix, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Felix already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Felix. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Barnsley and District Animal Welfare, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Felix isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Barnsley and District Animal Welfare about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” 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.
