Here's what the humans have to say about me:
What a sweet and kind Westie/Poodle our Bamboo is! Is that a Wespoo or a Poowest..we're not sure but it's a designer breed mix that is opportunistically being bred for their adorable looks, non-shedding cotton-soft coats and great temperaments. As a result of this human greed, these pups are being bred, sold for very high prices or dumped if they have any challenges. Farfel's is very happy to rescue these dogs and find them nurturing and committed homes.
At 12 - 18 months old and 21 lbs, Cody is an incredibly beautiful guy. We all know Cody has arrived when we see the wag that starts at his tail and becomes a full-blown body wiggle...Cody is greeting either a friend or anyone who has the potential to be a future playmate. Cody can be initially cautious...assessing the situation to make sure all is OK. This makes perfect sense as he's been through time spent at a high-kill shelter waiting for his pending euthanasia date. When he was identified with a great temperament, Farfel's spoke up to bring Cody to safety (and a new forever family) in Colorado.
Once he senses that all present are his friends, Cody is so warm and friendly that he always hopes every pat and kind word will turn into a friend. Both people and other dogs are drawn to Cody for his kind attitude and playful ways. He is learning to play with toys and waits expectantly, with his eyes so bright and joyful, to engage his people in fun.
Farfel's Rescue has determined that Cody needs a mellow home where he is an active and important member of the family. We feel that this would be more possible in an adult home (young retirees would be perfect) or a family with older, dog-loving children where there's a more predictable environment. Cody would be overjoyed to spend parts of the day together either hiking or walking through the beauty of Colorado. Then at day's end, he's the ultimate snuggler and sleeps soundly through the night.
It is Cody's love affair with life and all the hardships that he's suffered along the way that motivates us to put Cody through Heartworm treatments..his precious life deserves to be saved! Cody has tested HW+ and Farfel's (with the help of Dr G in Denver) has volunteered to save this very special dog's life. The heart worm treatment process involves several shots followed by a short period of quiet time for the dog. We have found this protocol to be very successful and every heartworm dog we've rescued has gone on to live long, happy lives.
We are seeking an adopter to lovingly care for Cody as he becomes Heartworm negative. It's quite an easy rehab process as it only entails mellow time with soft words and belly rubs. Farfel's will pay the vet bills and provide premium food and treats for this special pup as he becomes healthily heartworm-free.
Cody (like all dogs) would benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes that included the whole family - he is a super-smart guy who truly wants to please. Great training will give Cody the skills to be an excellent adult dog. These type of classes will also bring out the great qualities of this Westie/Poodle as well as creating a tightly-knit bonding with all family members
.
Cody is a non-shedding pup with a beautiful coat that is a combination of white and apricot. He will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his hair healthy, cottony-soft and matt-free.
Cody will be arriving on transport in Boulder on 7/8/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If interested in this sweet and very devoted best friend, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
