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. Caesar is the kind of baby who snuggles in, loves you up and then puts his head on your shoulder. He's so sweet (while being initially just a bit shy) and truly kind with every possibility open to him. That's the case unless a dog like Caesar is in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space or on the streets hiding in the shadows. We're so grateful for the efforts of our great rescuer in Tijuana, Mexico for saving Caesar 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 pup. Caesar 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 Caesar...6 years old (such a great age - old enough to be past babyish behavior and young enough to have many, many years of active life left) and12 lbs. This is such a perfect size to be able to accompany his family just about anywhere and then fit perfectly onto a loving lap. Caesar will always fit right in due to his great temperament. He is already starting to understand that sweet, cuddly and cooperative behavior makes great things happen in life. Caesar was one of the extremely lucky very young dogs to show great promise in his socialization skills at a very early age. The US rescuers couldn't help but fall in love with Caesar! We all had 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 Caesar 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 Caesar in a home that includes him in family time and activities (and of course some lap or couch-time would be perfect!)... and takes that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement obedience classes. These classes take a very smart guy like Caesar and teaches them the skills to fit into a great family member that can behave appropriately in any situation.
Caesar 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. Caesar 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.
Caesar was identified as a Schnauzer/Poodle mix (Schnoodle) by his Tijuana rescuer. This is difficult to determine with certainty, but we can see both adorable and engaging breeds in this very sweet dog.
Caesar appears to be a non-shedding guy with striking streaks of gold and beige running through his hair. Caesar will require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition (a salmon oil supplement would be great) to keep his hair healthy, cottony-soft and matt-free.
Caesar is being fostered in the Denver area. Applications are currently being accepted and Meet and Greets are being set up for our very sweet guy with the dark, expressive eyes. If interested in this adorable ...and often very fun and entertaining best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
