About Felicia

Felicia came to rescue with her sister Rayla after being saved as puppies from a high-intake shelter in November 2024, and both have spent nearly their entire lives in foster care. At first, Felicia was nervous around people, but with a patient foster, she’s blossomed into a curious, friendly, and more confident dog who does well meeting new faces at adoption events. She and Rayla love sprinting around the yard, goofing off, tiring each other out, and then curling up together for naps inside. These sisters have been together so long, they’re clearly bonded and happiest as a pair. Felicia is small to medium-sized (typically around 30-35 lbs.), crate trained, house trained, and spayed. She gets along well with other dogs and is ready for a home where she’ll be appreciated for her playful, affectionate nature. If you can open your space and heart to two, you’ll get double the fun and double the love! Rayla and Felicia are currently in White Bluff, TN. Click apply to start the adoption process.
