Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a sweet and kind Welsh Corgi/Schnauzer (at least that's the shelter vets opinion) our Lady is! Is that a Corzer or a Schorgi...we're not sure but it's a breed mix that is opportunistically bred for their adorable looks and great temperaments. As a result of this human greed, these pups are being bred, sold for high prices or dumped if things don't go well. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and committed homes.
At 9 - 12 months old and 18 lbs, Lady is a very beautiful girl . We know that she has arrived when we see the wag that starts at her tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle...Lady 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 Lady was identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring her to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado. Once she senses that all present are her friends, Lady is so warm and friendly that she hopes every pat and kind word will turn into a friend. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Lady for her kind attitude and playful ways. She is just starting to learn to play fetch and waits expectantly...with her eyes so bright and joyful..just to run off again. Lady seems to have a bit of leash experience as she's developing some skills and seems to love the experience.
Farfel's Rescue has determined that Lady needs a mellow 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. Lady would be overjoyed to spend parts of the day together either hiking or walking through the beauty of Colorado. Then at day's end, she's the ultimate snuggler and sleeps soundly through the night.
Lady (like all dogs) would benefit from positive reinforcement group obedience classes that included the whole family - she is a super-smart girl who truly wants to please. Great training will give Lady the skills to be an excellent adult dog. These type of classes will also bring out the great qualities of the Corgi and Schnauzer mix as well as creating a tightly-knit bonding with all family members
.
Lady appears to be a non-shedding pup with a beautiful brindle coat. She will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep her coat healthy and matt-free.
Lady will arrive on transport in Boulder on 10/23/15. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this sweet and devoted companion, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
