Felix – Courtesy Listing (fostered in SoCal)

By Alex • September 13, 2011

Felix (gray and white) and Gigi (tawny and white) are two sweet dogs that are a unique mix of Shepherd (possibly Malamute) and Boxer. We believe Gigi and Felix are approximately 2 – 4 years old, although Felix may be Gigi’s son and younger than 2. They are good with kids and other dogs although they have not been socialized with small dogs, and we are not sure about cats. They are very loving to each other and a bonded pair, so ideally we would like them to find a home together. They could also be comfortable separate, especially if they have a new dog-pal in the household.
Sadly Gigi and Felix were left at an overcrowded shelter by their original owner when she was going to have a baby and decided she would no longer have time for them. She had them both as puppies and they have lived their whole lives together. (We’re not sure how these two are related – either mother/son or litter mates.) Suddenly they found themselves in the shelter, separated from each other in an unknown place, away from the only home they had ever known.
Due to lack of space, these dogs were to be euthanized and would have died alone, but a group of rescuers realized we could not let that happen!
Urgently we pulled together to save this pair and have them reunited. They were so excited to see each other again, they hugged and kissed each other for hours. We know we might have to once again separate them in order to find them their new forever homes, but we are holding out hope that someone sees how bonded they are and will be willing to adopt them together.
They are spayed and neutered, current on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. We believe a well trained dog is a happy dog. Therefore, an intro training session will be required to ensure Gigi and Felix remain well balanced and happy.
Please note that we do not place any dog on a first come, first served basis, but rather to the home that is best suited for that particular dog and breed. An application, home check, adoption contract and fee are required for all adoptions and dogs are seen by appointment only.
