Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It got scarily close to Kona's euthanasia time in a dismal Kansas shelter. It was definitely through no fault of his own..it's all a matter of space. He came in at a very crowded time (but then again..all times are very crowded) and was therefore given a very short window in which to be rescued. After a scramble by our very compassionate Kansas rescuer (she has a soft spot for a fuzzy guy with a great temperament!), Kona was pulled out of the shelter at the last second possible. His rescuer, shelter workers and Kona's foster haven't stopped raving about this adorable and engaging guy ever since. There was some indecision about Kona's breed mix...the shelter said Poodle, but upon further vetting, Kona was said to be a Poodle/Wire haired Fox Terrier mix by one vet and a purebred Wire haired Fox Terrier by another. All we know is that Kona is wonderful, very beautiful and would be a great addition to any family.
Kona, at 12 - 18 months old and about 12 lbs is the perfect size to take along just about anywhere. He is the perfect candidate to find his forever home in Colorado - he's a natural-born walker with the energy and enthusiasm to accompany his favorite person on any path. We envision Kona with active retirees who enjoy spending their time with a comical fuzzy guy He would be a very family-oriented pup if given the chance...adventures, vacations or just hanging out at home would speak to the nature of this pup. A fun time would be exploring dog-friendly spots or time spent socializing with gentle canines and their dog-loving families. At the end of the day...there would be nothing better for Kona than to snuggle down with his family of humans and canines..he is unknown with cats. Kona can be counted on to be a truly positive addition to any home. He is a low-maintenance guy whose joy at being part of a committed family would know no bounds. Kona would shine in positive reinforcement group obedience classes since his desire to please is so strong...and it would create that special bond that exists between a trained, respectful dog and his people. After passing his temperament tests and vetting with flying colors, Kona is in a foster home in Kansas being reminded of his basic house skills. His foster family has described him as a lovebug and a sweetpea...can we possibly say more? They did say that Kona may need a bit of time after his long transport to Denver, to be his happy and very loving self.
Kona is either a combination of 2 non-shedding breeds or a single non-shedding breed. As is evident in his photos, Kona is in desperate need of a sudsy bath and grooming. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Kona's makeover if our Denver groomer is used. Kona will emerge with an amazing white and black coat that over time will speak of softness and good health. Kona will require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep this lovely coat healthy and matt-free.
Kona will be arriving on transport in Denver on Tuesday 6/23/15. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
