Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We're so glad that Marley was able to stay safe as he wandered through the streets of Roswell, NM as a stray. His safety became questionable when he was picked up and slated for euthanasia in an extremely overcrowded New Mexico shelter. No way that Farfel's could let that happen to this stunning miniature Parti (black and white) Poodle with the great temperament! Parti Poodles are very rarely found in shelter situations as they're considered unusual and very desirable. (We've only found 2 prior to Marley that have been in danger). We wonder why great dogs like this fall through the cracks. Arrangements were quickly made...and Marley left the shelter just in the nick of time. This truly beautiful (in dire need of a bath and a serious haircut..will update with new photo as soon as we receive one) 1-2 year old Poodle (with maybe just a touch of Shih Tzu in there for added cuteness) left all the pain and misery of his previous life behind as he acclimated to the security of a home, great nutrition and lots of love & belly rubs! We found...to our delight...that Marley appears to be great with gentle older kids and other dogs (very young children and cats are unknown). He also truly enjoys his time with adults...especially if it's about snuggling during lap time or leisurely walks. Since Marley has been deprived of human attention for at least a part of his short life, he needs a bit of assurance that he's loved in a forever sort of way. He seems to be just a bit unsure... but we notice that he gains confidence every day that he interacts with well-meaning and kind humans. We envision Marley in a home with a gentle canine sibling and guardians that choose to spend lots of time having fun with their dogs.
Marley would be ecstatic to spend this quality time and would definitely form a fast and forever bond. He wants to please like none other...it almost seems like he's gathered the wisdom that guides him toward good behavior and very positive interaction with everyone he encounters. A loving family that has the time and desire to form a close relationship with a pup that truly deserves it is our goal for our sweet and devoted Marley.
As is clear in Marley's pitiful shelter photo...his gorgeous coat has been uncared for for too long a time. Farfel's will be happy to cover the cost of a spa day for Marley...he deserves it and will emerge as the gorgeous Poodle he is under all those matts and shelter filth. Marley is a non-shedding, hypoallergenic guy and will therefore require regular grooming and great nutrition to keep his cotton-soft coat healthy and matt-free.
Marley will be arriving on transport in Boulder, CO on 9/20. If interested in this sweet pup who is full of love and personality, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
