My story

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

Mimi and Harley are the cutest Shih Tzus ever! They are a bonded pair and have taken loving care of each other through all the trials and tribulations of their recent life. This pair lived their lives together and then...without warning..were cast off into a high-kill shelter by their guardian. We never really know why..although we suspect they were replaced by the novelty of a pair of young puppies. The sad truth is that they didn't have a chance and were slated for immediate euthanasia. How could we have left these 2 deserving dogs who had too few days of joy in their lives? So...just in time...Mimi and Harley were given the opportunity of a lifetime - safety and a true possibility in Colorado for a caring and committed home. After being temperament tested and vetted, the pair were placed in a great foster home to learn about being loved as well as respecting kind boundaries.
These truly gorgeous Shih Tzus yearn for a soft touch and a loving voice. We are searching for the calm demeanor of an older person (or couple) who is searching to bond 100% with 2 devoted companions.
Mimi is a classic-looking Shih Tzu. She's quite the gorgeous girl at 12 lbs and approximately 6 years old (although we had one Texas vet call Mimi 7, yet another thought 5...so we thought we'd compromise at 6). Harley is Mimi's dearest friend and go-to guy. He's quite the gentleman at 10 or so years old and quite beautiful (although in need of a spa day that will leave his gorgeous coat cotton-soft and shining).
Shih Tzus are very long-living little dogs..perhaps up to 17 or 18 with great care. Mimi and Harley have many years of snuggling and cuddling left in them.
We don't see any aggression from this duo...but are making a choice not to place them in a home with kids. We feel that any fears that they might bring from their previous life will be better suited to the quiet and more reliable environment of an all-adult home.
Mimi and Harley will be such wonderful companions for a retired couple or individual! They are ready to trust and bond with a family that is truly devoted to them. They are capable of being such great best friends to people who enjoy their antics and snuggly ways... yet understand that bonding doesn't happen in a moment. It's a process built on time-spent with commitment and love. Mimi and Harley must be placed together...a perfect pair for the family who has the desire and space for 2 small lap dogs. The joy and laughter that this exceptional pair will bring will change the life of a very lucky family! This pair are also an example of two being easier than one...they play, occupy each other when loved ones aren't home and absolutely give double the love!
Mimi and Harley are a non-shedding breed with beautiful gold and chocolate tones in their hair. They will therefore require periodic baths and brushing along with excellent nutrition to keep their coats healthy and matt-free.
We know that sometimes adopting a dog (or 2) is difficult for families on fixed incomes..perhaps disabled (but capable of caring for 2 small, low-maintenance dogs) or perhaps veterans who need the companionship of 2 sweet dogs who want to bond more than anything. We'd like to make this easy-to-care-for pair available to an adult-only family in this situation. Farfel's is happy to lower the adoption fee of Mimi and Harley from $595 to $195 for both sweetie-pies (with 3 payments being acceptable). These beautiful Shih Tzus will come to their new family spayed and neutered, up- to- date on vaccinations, wormed, treated for fleas and blood- tested (results were negative..yay) for Hearworm.

Mimi and Harley will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 1/17/2015. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If you're interested in this sweet and endearing pair, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com or mail a hard copy to Farfel's Farm 906 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302.
