My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable young dog. Mojo is the kind of pup who snuggles in, loves you up and then puts his head on your shoulder. He's so sweet and social with every possibility open to him. That's the case unless a dog is in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space. We're so grateful for the efforts of our great rescuers and fosters in Tijuana, Mexico for saving Mojo from abuse and certain euthanasia. She could see that his temperament was so sweet and his need so great that she couldn't turn her back on this very special guy. Mojo was immediately brought to be vetted, given the appropriate vaccinations, neutered, granted a health certificate and brought to a dog-loving foster to begin his education as a cherished house dog.

When we think of rescue, our thoughts don't usually go onto the tough streets of Tijuana. But these forgotten dogs deserve our help every bit as much as their US counterparts. They all have been used for opportunistic purposes...to either breed and discard or to sell as a puppy to a Mexican mill or rich tourists. Virtually all of them have lived on the streets and survived by learning to be social. They love people because compassionate tourists were their means of survival. They can sit in any language and fit quietly into any scene to earn a treat or discarded meal.

This was the life waiting for Mojo...just about 24 months old and approximately 12 - 15 lbs. This is such a perfect size to be able accompany his family just about anywhere and fit right in due to his great temperament and very positive outlook on life. Mojo is already starting to understand that sweet, cuddly and cooperative behavior makes great things happen in life. He was one of the extremely lucky young dogs to master his socialization skills at a very early age and endear himself to the US rescuers. There was no way Mojo was going to be left behind! We all have a clear picture of this very sweet and fun-loving guy in a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes him for life.

As Mojo becomes comfortable in his home, he will become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please - the happier his family is with his behavior, the more he will shine with his accomplishments. We would like to see Mojo in a home that includes him in family time and activities (and some lap-time would be perfect!)... and takes that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement obedience classes. These classes take a very smart dog like Mojo and molds them into a great family member that can behave appropriately in any situation.

Mojo would also be a wonderful companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a truly adorable young pup. Mojo would enjoy another gentle dog to play with...he's so sweet and gentle as he puts his positive energy into enjoying the day with a fun friend.

Mojo was identified as a Schnauzer/Poodle mix by his Tijuana rescuer. Schnoodles are very popular mixes that make great family pets...and therefore, sadly, are bred opportunistically to bring high prices from tourists in Mexico.

Mojo is a non-shedding guy with a cotton-soft coat with the most amazing silver and black running through it..so beautiful. He will therefore require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition (a salmon oil supplement would be great) to keep his stunning hair healthy and matt-free.

Mojo will be arriving on transport in the Denver area on 3/19/16. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet pup with the dark, expressive eyes. If interested in this adorable ...and very fun and entertaining companion, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
