Here's what the humans have to say about me:
When Hayley's rescuer walked down the aisle of the dismal New Mexico shelter, she was shocked to see the adorable (and very elegant looking) Hayley tucked tightly into a cage...her time was up. Farfel's immediately got an email describing how incredibly cute and sweet this Terrier (with a bit of Australian Cattle Dog) is..and the need to save her life. We immediately agreed and Hayley became a very treasured Farfel's dog.
Hayley earned a ticket to a wonderful new life in Colorado with her great personality and kind and positive attitude toward the world. At 6 months old and about 25 lbs (anticipated to be approximately 35 - 40 lbs when full-grown) this beautiful and cuddly puppy is a blank slate waiting for positive and loving input and guidance to be the best adult dog she's capable of being.
We'd love to match Hayley to a family that will spend lots of time with this very portable pup. She's a perfect size to accompany her family just about anywhere...and would love it. Her long legs and lean athletic build is perfect for hiking, biking or snowshoeing through the mountains. Hayley would be a star (she's incredibly smart) in Positive Reinforcement group obedience class. These classes will not only provide great socialization and behavioral skills...but will cement the relationship between Hayley and her family.
Hayley gets a ton of attention when she's out and about with her foster...they're stopped by other walkers inquiring, What kind of dog is she? and Oh my, she is so beautiful..she has the most amazing eyes ever (it's true..she does!) Hayley has been identified as an extremely eye-catching mix of a Jack Russell Terrier and Australian Cattle Dog. When she turns that gentle and wise look in your direction, you can't help but smile and acknowledge her incredible intelligence, loyalty and sweet, cuddly nature .
You can see just a touch of a sign that this young pup has had difficult times. But not for her to be negative..a smile and a wag is more Hayley's style. It's clear that Hayley has left the pain behind...she couldn't be more joyful. Farfel's Rescue is searching for a family with older kids for Hayley ...it's not that she doesn't like young kids. We feel that children that are old enough to participate in Hayley's initial training regimen would be valuable to her success out in the world. Active retirees would also be perfect for this pup. She would thrive on the time and attention that she could share with them.
Hayley is a loyal and positive puppy..that makes her very easy to spend time with just enjoying the wonders of life in Colorado. Hayley would enjoy time with dogs (and cats) who could be fun-loving yet gentle playmates.
Hayley has a cotton-soft coat with amazing markings that requires periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition to keep it healthy and shining. A supplement like salmon oil will bring out the stunning colors of Hayley's mask while making her coat pure white and so soft.
Hayley will arrive on transport in Boulder on Friday 12/16/15. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this very sweet and fun-loving best friend, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com.
