Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable young puppy. They're so new and fresh with every possibility open to them. That's the case unless they're in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space. We're so grateful for the efforts of our great Texas rescuer in saving Dahlia and her sister Rose...she could see that their temperaments were so kind and calm that she couldn't allow them to be euthanized. Dahlia is the kind of very endearing puppy that will lie in your arms and give a periodic loving kiss... couldn't be sweeter. Dahlia was immediately brought to be vetted and was brought to a great Houston foster home to receive pure love and begin her education. It turns out that Dahlia , at only 8 weeks old and 4 lbs (expected to be approximately 12 lbs when full-grown) is very calm and yet so puppy silly that it's become a fun and rewarding experience for her foster mom. Dahlia's like a blank slate...open and curious about everything around her and she's incredibly entertaining when she gets going. If Dahlia continues this regiment of socialization that promotes positive relationships with other dogs and bonding with humans...she will become a well-adjusted and very bonded companion.
Dahlia is a gorgeous long-haired Doxie mix puppy (although we can't see anything but Doxie, we assume there's a bit of something else in there) with a shining coat that speaks of good health. Her calm demeanor is just who she is...she just appears to be more analytical than your average crazy puppy. If Dahlia is treated kindly with clear behavioral guidelines, she will become a well-adjusted girl who respects her people as her leaders. This is the kind of family we're searching for for Dahlia. We also feel it's very important that Dahlia is provided with exercise and mental stimulation. She would be overjoyed with walking along Colorado paths and enjoying the sunshine. We'd like a family who spends lots of time at home and chooses to include a fuzzy companion in their activities. Dahlia can be taught that the car is a fun place that leads to great adventures out in the community and can therefore accompany her family just about anywhere. Dahlia will be arriving in Denver unfixed due to her very young age...Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs in regard to Dahlia's spay, microchip and any additional puppy shots she might require. We can't determine at this point if Dahlia is a shedder. Lots of sudsy baths and serious brushing combined with great nutrition will keep this puppy's coat healthy and silky-soft.
Dahlia will be arriving on transport in Denver on 8/22. If interested in this adorable and sweet puppy, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
