Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a scary world it is out there when you're homeless and in a high-kill shelter...especially when you just weigh 23 lbs and are only about 18 - 24 months old. Gus, an adorable Schnauzer/Cairn Terrier mix found himself in this situation through no fault of his own. His plight was the result of irresponsibility and neglect...such a sad statement for the poor care that a was bestowed on this harmless dog.
Gus was the luckiest guy around that day...he was discovered and rescued by Farfel's rescuers who felt compassion for this sweet pup. He was a matted mess and far too thin on the outside.. but pure and grateful devotion on the inside!
Gus's rescuer brought him home and dedicated herself to caring for him...and reassuring his abandoned psyche that he was safe. This guy deserved a ticket to a new life in Colorado and a committed, loving family. He would so love walks down mountain trails...he loves being outside and is the perfect size for being ready to go on any hike.
Gus is definitely searching for a human friend that he can devote his heart to....and that person will be the recipient of 100% of what this little dog has to offer. After a time for initial bonding, Gus is a steadfast companion that takes his relationships seriously. We're searching for an active adult home for Gus...a retired couple or individual who enjoy spending lots of time with a fuzzy guy would be great! It's not that Gus dislikes kids..we just feel he'd be more secure in the calmer reliability of an adult home.
He also gets along with other dogs and would enjoy the relationship of like-sized, gentle canines. He would blossom with the attention and caring touch of a dedicated family. In this environment, Gus will glow with joy at his incredible luck. He also loves to please...and when he's successful, he struts his stuff with high self-esteem.
Gus is a non-shedding pup (maybe a hair or 2) and will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his awesome, cottony coat healthy and matt-free. Gus will be completely vetted, neutered, vaccinated and temperament tested to fulfill our commitment to adopting out healthy and well-adjusted dogs.
Gus will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday morning 8/14/15. If you're interested in this sweet, endearing and often entertaining 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.
