Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We got a desperate email from Texas about Penny...the shelter was desperate to find a home for this unusually beautiful and so very loving Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle mix). We have never seen a Schnauzer of this coloring with the darkest of charcoal and the brightest of gold in her coat. But as beautiful as Penny is on the outside, it just doesn't compare with the love and good-will that flows from the heart of this approximately 6 - 6.5 year old, 14 lb dog. This is such a perfect age for any dog. They're young enough to be playful and active with many years ahead (this breed mix can live to a ripe old age of about 15 - 17 years old) and old enough to be calm, peaceful and very low-maintenance. As our rescuer drove away from the dreary urban shelter, Penny was so filled with joy that she climbed into her lap, breathed a huge sigh of relief and fell fast asleep. She slept all the way to the vet's office for her temperament testing (she passed with flying colors) and got a PERFECT on her vetting assessment. So...off she went to her foster home...to be reminded of respectful house skills and to wait for her transport to Denver (she earned it with her great behavior) and a brand new life. Since Penny has gotten an A+ for sweetness, cuddling and general positive behavior...she's ready to be a devoted family member. We envision Penny in a home either with children who can play with and love Penny with a very gentle touch or in a home with retirees who will shower time and attention on this devoted and super-loving girl. We would never want Penny in a situation where she's alone for many hours. Instead we would love for her to be taken along on walks, adventures and even visits with dog-loving friends. She's almost impossible not to fall in love with...her manner speaks of softness and light. Penny also travels like a champ - she loves nothing more than to come along on errands, hikes and any adventure that keeps her together with those she loves. She would also be a natural to come along on vacations or getaways...she's so pleasant with everyone that she attracts admirers everywhere she goes.
Penny is a non-shedding girl and will therefore require great nutrition and periodic bath/brushing to keep her coat shining and healthy.
Penny will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 1/23/15. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If you're interested in this sweet and endearing pup, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com or mail a hard copy to Farfel's Farm 906 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302.
