Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a scary world it is out there when you're homeless and hungry...especially when you only weigh about 11 pounds. Milo, a gorgeous 3 - 4 year old Maltese/Poodle mix,(or so the shelter vets identified his breeds) found himself in this situation through no fault of his own. His plight was the result of irresponsibility and neglect...such a sad statement for the level of care that a human bestowed on this harmless dog.
Milo was the luckiest guy around that day...he was discovered and rescued from a high-kill shelter by a kind rescuer who felt compassion when she realized how friendly and loving he was. He was a matted mess on the outside (Farfel's will be happy to pay for Milo's grooming upon arrival in CO)..but nothing but pure and grateful devotion on the inside! Milo's rescuer brought him home and dedicated herself to caring for him...and reassuring his abandoned psyche that he was safe. After many efforts to find Milo's family (because after all, how could this sweet and beautiful dog not have a family)...the decision was made that he deserved a new life in Colorado. He would so love walks down mountain trails...he loves being outside and is capable of being a companion for lots of activities. Milo is definitely searching for a human friend that he can devote his heart to....and that person will be the recipient of 100% of what this little dog has to offer. He's a steadfast companion that takes his relationships seriously. We're searching for an adult home for Milo...a retired couple or individual who enjoy spending lots of time with a fuzzy guy would be great! It's not that Milo dislikes kids..we just feel he'd be more secure in the calmer reliability of an adult home. He also gets along with other dogs but again we feel he could be happy either way..he could get used to being the one and only. Milo would blossom with the attention and caring touch of a dedicated family. In this supportive environment, he will glow with joy at his incredible luck. Milo also loves to please...and when he's successful, he struts his stuff with high self-esteem.
Milo is a non-shedding pup and considered to be one of the most hypoallergenic breed mixes. He will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his cotton-soft coat healthy and matt-free.
Milo will be completely vetted and vaccinated upon his arrival in Denver. We've requested his neutering..if that doesn't occur, Farfel's will arrange and cover all costs for Milo's neuter and microchip to fulfill our commitment to adopting out healthy and well-adjusted dogs.
Milo will arrive on transport in Boulder, CO on 10/27. Applications are currently being accepted for Milo and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this sweet and devoted companion, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
