Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Crystal was so fearful as she came into a very high-kill shelter in Kansas. She's a sensitive and very kind girl...and through it all she seemed like an old soul...taking it all in. She was never nasty or snippy..just initially fearful of new people who might hurt her. She soon found out otherwise and has spent her shelter time on the laps of shelter personnel...needless to say that she's a favorite. It just isn't in her nature to be anything but sweet. Crystal, at 3.5 or so years old and 17 lbs represents the sad irresponsibility that is so present when pet guardians choose not to spay/neuter...homeless and confused. These unwanted dogs deserve a great life every bit as much as any other living being. Crystal has a wonderful disposition and through it all, still has the desire to love and be loved. While initially shy and fearful..she comes around within the hour with those who are kind and respectful. She loves to snuggle and show her devotion in so many ways. Crystal loves her relationships with gentle dogs as well...it seems that she derives confidence from being around these positive-energy pups. She tries very hard to show that she's worthy of a permanent family to love and nurture her. Her little tail wags hesitantly when she sees a possibility for a pat or any kind gesture. She would be overjoyed..after gathering her confidence.. if she got gentle attention and it would bring a light to those concerned eyes! Farfel's is searching for that special family for this exceptional Terrier mix (or at least that's what the Kansas vets tell us Chrystal is..all we know is that she's so adorable!). Crystal is about to get spa treatment for the first time..there won't be a more beautiful girl when she's provided with skin & hair care and great nutrition. Her silly hair will frame the kind glow in her eyes that speak of a gentle soul. We're searching for a family that wants to spend quality time with this exceptional girl. She would learn from the gentle guidance and time put in of people who love her...she'll return that devotion a million times over once she understands that she can trust. We feel that Crystal would enjoy a retired couple (or individual) or a family with older children who will be gentle and loving toward the this sweet pup. A positive reinforcement training class would also be great for bonding between Crystal and her people. It's a new world for this sensitive girl and she'll be so successful with the knowledge that she is loved and chosen to be a member of a very special family. Crystal appears to be housetrained and very respectful of her foster home. Crystal has an appointment to be spayed on 3/11..Farfel's will cover all costs associated with her spaying, microchip or any additional medical needs. This pup is a non-shedding girl and will therefore require periodic baths/brushing to bring out the beauty (adorable markings) and good health of her coat. Crystal is being fostered in Denver. Applications and inquiries for a Meet and Greet are currently being accepted for this sweet and exceptional companion.
