Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a sweet and kind Schnauzer/Terrier Joy is! Is that a Schier or a Terzer..we're not sure but it's a very beautiful designer breed mix that is opportunistically being bred for their cute looks, non-shedding very beautiful coats and great personalities. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and committed homes.
At 9 - 12 months old and just about 12 lbs, Joy is an incredibly sweet and kind pup . We all know Joy has arrived when we see the wag that starts at her tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle...Joy is greeting either a friend or anyone who has the potential to be a future playmate. She is initially cautious...assessing the situation to make sure all is OK. This makes perfect sense as she's been through time spent at a high-kill shelter waiting for her pending euthanasia date. When she was identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring Joy to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado. Once she senses that all present are her friends, Joy is so warm and friendly that she always hopes every pat and kind word will turn into a friend. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Joy for her kind attitude and playful ways. She is learning to play fetch and waits expectantly...with her eyes so bright and joyful..to run off again. Joy seems to have a bit of leash experience ans she's developing new skills everyday and seems to love the experience!
Farfel's Rescue has determined that Joy needs a mellow (yet fun and loving) home where she is an active and important member of the family. We feel that this would be more possible in an adult home (retirees would be perfect) where there's a more predictable environment. Joy would be so excited to spend parts of the day together with her family. In the evenings, she's a world-class snuggler and then sleeps soundly through the night.
It is Joy's love affair with life and all the hardships that she's suffered along the way that motivates us to put Joy through Heartworm treatments..her precious life deserves to be saved! Joy has tested very low HW+ and Farfel's (with the help of Dr G in Denver) has volunteered to save this very special dog's life. The heart worm treatment process involves several shots followed by a short period of quiet time for the dog. We have found this protocol to be very successful and the dogs go on to live long, happy lives.
We are seeking an adopter to lovingly care for Joy as she becomes Heartworm negative. It's quite an easy rehab process as it only entails mellow time with soft words and belly rubs. Farfel's will pay the vet bills and provide premium food and treats for this special pup as she becomes healthily heartworm-free.
Joy (like all dogs) would benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes that includes the whole family - she is a super-smart girl who truly wants to please. Great training will give Joy the skills to be an excellent adult dog. These type of classes will also bring out the great qualities of this Schnauzer/Terrier mix as well as creating a tightly-knit bonding with all family members.
.
Joy is a non-shedding (or very lightly shedding) pup with a beautiful coat that shows off the scruffy hair of the Terrier breeds. She will therefore require periodic baths and grooming with great nutrition to keep her hair healthy and matt-free.
Joy will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday morning 8/1/15. If you're interested in this sweet, endearing and often very entertaining pup, please fill out an application and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com, fax to 303-443-7730 or mail a hard copy to Farfel's Farm 906 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302.
