Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We got a very concerned email from Texas about sweet Ava ...the shelter was set on finding a home for this unusually beautiful (with the most amazing eyes that speak of great wisdom) and very loving Maltese/Poodle. Ava was recognized for her goodness and sweet personality (and her beauty always attracts admirers everywhere she goes). But as stunning as Ava is on the outside (although this poor girl will be so happy after a sudsy bath and new hairdo) it just doesn't compare with the love and good-will that flows from the heart of this pup.
Ava aced 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 and a brand new life. Since Ava has gotten an A for sweetness, cuddling and general positive behavior...she's ready to be a devoted family member. We envision her in a home either with older and very gentle children who can cuddle and love Ava with a light touch or she'd be a natural in a home with retirees who will shower time and attention on this devoted and engaging pup.
We would never want Ava in a situation where she's alone for many hours. Instead we would love for her to be taken along on walks, adventures and visits with dog-loving friends. She's almost impossible not to fall in love with...her manner speaks of softness and light. Ava also travels like a champ - she loves nothing more than coming along on errands, socializing visits and any adventure that keeps her together with those she loves. She would also be a natural to come along on vacations or getaways (and is a perfect companion and lap dog at 2 - 3 years old and approximately 12 lbs..so easy to scoop up and take along)...she's so pleasant with everyone that she attracts admirers everywhere she goes. But it will definitely be the special lap and familiar touch that will draw Ava back to her family every time...she's a one-family girl!
Ava is being fostered in Denver. Farfel's is currently accepting applications and setting up Meet and Greets for our sweetest girl. If interested in this snuggly and loyal pup who desperately wants to be a best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
