My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Destin could be that dream come true pup for retirees who love spending their time with a kind and loyal dog who is the most devoted companion around. There's no question that Destin would also do well with gentle older kids (12+ please) who enjoy the fun that a sweet little dog brings to a family. We'd like only older children as part of Destin's family not because he's nasty with young kids, but because he only weighs about 12 lbs at approximately 24 months old and we want to make certain he's handled gently and respectfully. We don't think he'd be happy with the loud voices and occasional rough pokes or tail pulls of very young kids. Destin does love playing and is entertaining in his antics, energy and the love he wants to show to everyone who is kind to him.
The shelter vet identified Destin as a purebred Poodle. We can't commit to his being a purebred but we really don't see another breed that we can identify.
Destin's sad story is all too common in a scary Kansas shelter....but who could ignore Destin's beautiful face with the sweet eyes and wavy cotton-soft coat? Destin also has an adorable manner and a desire to bond with anyone who gives him a bit of time to get over his initial shyness. He will then be a loyal and devoted best friend and before you know it... he's gently loving you with a wag and a kiss. The awesome Kansas rescuer recognized all of this and knew that there was a home out there that would love, respect and make this little guy a permanent member of their family.
Destin's definitely got some votes for the most matted, shelter-dirty guy ever... but with a serious grooming, the beauty of this special pup will become evident (we'll update with a photo). Destin is a non-shedding guy (considered to be hypoallergenic) and will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his stunning coat healthy and matt-free.
Destin is so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a fun hike, a visit with dog-loving friends, a car ride on vacation or just an afternoon spending time together plopped down on the couch - all of this would speak to Destin's nature. We aren't open to a home where everyone spends their days working full-time outside of the home....we'd like Destin to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle.
We've requested that Destin be neutered prior to his arrival in Denver. Due to the huge number of dogs in Kansas shelters, they can't always fulfill our request. If they don't, Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs (if our vet is used) for Destin's neuter, microchip, Heatrworm test and any core shot that is missing after his arrival in Denver.

Destin will be arriving on transport in Denver on or around 11/7. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If you're interested in this kind and devoted companion, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
