Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sugar is an incredibly cute ball of cottony fur that climbs into your heart (and lap) with a hug and a wag. She desperately needs a sudsy bath and grooming...once she has her spa day, Sugar will absolutely be one of the cutest girls around. At about 18 - 24 months old and approximately 10 - 12 lbs. There couldn't be a better lap-dog..she's a small girl who fits exactly right
Sugar can get that burst of young dog energy...fun and active....but at the same time she is a very respectful dog who is not needy or unpleasant- she usually expresses herself with a wagging tail and excited kisses. At this point in Sugar's development, she loves everyone. We want to nurture this positive vision of the world by matching Sugar to a family who expresses their love for her in many different ways.
This cute little girl will follow you around the house because she LOVES people. She is learning to walk on a leash and some at the shelter have reported seeing her dance when happy...so cute! Sugar enjoys her small-breed friends at the shelter and prefers her play-time with them instead of the big and pushier dogs. She will be an amazing best friend and sweet lap-dog to a very lucky family!
Right now, Sugar is a blank slate who will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved dog around. We think Sugar would be great with very gentle older children or with an adult family who will include her in their activities. Sugar is so portable that she can easily be a constant companion - she would love nothing more than walks, trips to the store (she's a great window-shopping friend) or even a place at a pet-friendly workplace. Sugar is young enough that she can be introduced to virtually any situation...and if there is love and gentle guidance with patience...she can succeed.
Sugar's new family must have the excitement to make a long-term commitment to this special girl with the great temperament. She requires behavioral guidance and tons of love (like every dog) to keep her positive attitude, bravery and love of life an active part of her personality.
Sugar a non-shedding dog (considered to be one of the top mixes for allergy challenges). Sugar will require a commitment periodic grooming and great nutrition (a daily Salmon Oil supplement would be a great addition) to keep her coat cottony-soft and matt-free.
Farfel's has requested that Sugar be spayed prior to her transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Sugar's spay and microchip upon her arrival in Colorado if our Denver vet is used.
Farfel's Rescue is very excited to participate in finding this special dog her forever family. Sugar will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 2/6/16. Applications are currently being accepted for this energetic and happy go lucky girl. If interested in this devoted and sweet...and often very entertaining companion, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
