At first glance, he might look brawny and intimidating. But big, sweet Felix is more teddy bear than polar bear. And it’s no wonder why; before making his way to our sanctuary, this guy lived in a home where he knew nothing but love and joy. But when his person tragically passed away and he lost that home, he needed help to heal his broken heart — which he’d be sure to get here aplenty.
On any given day, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is a healing home-between-homes for up to 1,600 dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, horses, pigs, and other animals. Some of them have special needs that require physical healing, and others like Felix just need extra TLC until they’re matched with a family. No matter what they need, they always get it at Best Friends, as Felix can attest.
With time, attention, and endless cuddles, Felix came out of his shell, and he soon found himself with a flock of fans, including fellow canines, charmed humans, and even enchanted kittens. The love and care he received at the Sanctuary seemed to work its magic, helping Felix’s heart heal. Or maybe Felix worked his own special magic — because today he’s officially been adopted and is in a home of his own.
