Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We just recently rescued Java from a very scary high-kill shelter...and now he's passed all his vetting and behavioral testing with flying colors and is ready for his transport to Colorado and his forever home. Our adorable little Java is just about 3 - 3.5 years old and approximately 10 lbs....and could not be sweeter. He appears to be a purebred Shih Tzu...but there could be a little something else in there..we don't see it however. He is the perfect companion for anyone searching for a very devoted dog who loves to spend his time either on his person's lap, taking a walk on beautiful Colorado paths or on the couch engaging in a serious belly rub session. Java doesn't require extensive exercise but does enjoy playing and cuddling with those he loves. He's also a very portable guy at just 10 lbs and would love nothing more than a car or plane ride (in the cabin only please) to any destination. His behavior and temperament are great but it's important that's he's given the time to bond and trust...it also helps that he's the cutest guy around! We envision Java in a home with a retired individual or couple who enjoy spending lots of quality time with an entertaining little dog - he's often the center of attention just because he's so engaging...and very funny as well! He's at that perfect age that is just getting beyond babyish antics and is now developing into just a great companion. He would benefit and learn great socialization skills from positive reinforcement group training class...it would also cement his relationship with his family.
Java enjoys the company of other very gentle dogs but can also be very happy as the one and only. He's a wonderful companion who is very low maintenance....just a kind word, petting and a place next to (or on) the bed would be a dream come true for this little guy.
Java is a non-shedder and will therefore require great nutrition and periodic grooming to keep his coat healthy and matt-free.
Java is 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 sweet and very devoted companion, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
