Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Deetz could be that dream come true pup for retirees who love spending their time with a cottony-soft and very sweet companion. There's no question Deetz would also do well with gentle older kids 12+ who enjoy the fun and positive energy that a sweet little dog brings to a family. We'd like only older children in Deetz's family not because he dislikes young kids...but because Buddy is only about 15 lbs and 12 - 18 months old, we want to make certain he's handled gently and respectfully. Farfel's is committed to placing Deetz with a family that derives great joy from showering a beautiful and sweet dog with nothing but love and softness. Once comfortable (it may take a bit of cuddling time), Deetz, with his young energy will love playing, and his love will blossom in time. Deetz's story is all too common in his extremely close call to being euthanized in a scary Kansas shelter....but who could ignore his adorable manner and the huge potential he has? 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. Deetz would do well with a family who's invested in spending time with their pup. He's so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a leisurely walk, a visit with friends (with or without their dogs), a car ride on vacation or just an afternoon spending time together plopped down on the couch - all of this would speak to Deetz's temperament. We aren't open to a home where everyone spends their days working full-time outside of the home....we'd like Deetz to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle. Sorry about the fuzzy shelter picture. We have asked our foster to send us some better pictures of Deetz and will update shortly. Deetz is a non-shedding guy with the softest hair ever. He will therefore requires periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his cotton-soft coat healthy and matt-free.
