Here's what the humans have to say about me:
It got scarily close to Coffee's euthanasia time in a dismal Texas 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 Texas rescuer (she has a soft spot for a really cute fuzzy guy with a great temperament!), was pulled out of the shelter at the last second possible. His rescuer, shelter workers and Coffee's foster haven't stopped raving about this adorable and engaging guy ever since. There was some indecision about Coffee's breed mix...the shelter initially said Fox Terrier, but upon further vetting, Coffee was said to be a Wheaten Terrier/Cairn Terrier mix by one vet and another vet agreed that that was very possible. All we know is that Coffee is wonderful, very beautiful and would be a great addition to any family.
Coffee, at 18 - 24 months old and 19.8 lbs is the perfect size to take along just about anywhere. He is such a 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 Coffee with an active family with older, respectful kids or 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 guy. 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 Coffee than to snuggle down with his family of humans and canines..he is unknown with cats.
Coffee 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. Drake 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, Drake is in a foster home in Texas 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 Coffee may need a bit of time after his long transport to Boulder, to be his happy and very loving self.
Coffee is in need of a sudsy bath and a great brushing…. he will emerge with an amazing white/tan coat that over time will speak of cottony softness and good health. Coffee will require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep this lovely coat healthy and matt-free.
Coffee will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 1/15/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/.
