My story

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

It got scarily close to Conrad's euthanasia time in a dismal Kansas 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 Kansas rescuer (she has a soft spot for a really cute fuzzy guy with a great temperament!), Conrad was pulled out of the shelter at the last second possible. His rescuer, shelter workers and Conrad's foster haven't stopped raving about this adorable and engaging guy ever since. There was some indecision about Conrad's breed mix...the vet initially said Cairn Terrier with a bit of Tibetan Terrier as well. We're not entirely sure...all we know is that Conrad is wonderful, very smart and would be a great addition to any family who loves the fun and silliness of a scruffy Terrier.

Conrad, at 9 months old and approximately 12 lbs (he's shelter-thin right now and may reach an adult weight of 15 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 (still learning about the leash but getting better by the moment) with the energy and enthusiasm to accompany his favorite person on any walking path. We envision Conrad with an active family with older, respectful kids or active 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 other playful canines and their dog-loving families. At the end of the day...there would be nothing better for Conrad than to snuggle down with his family of humans and canines..he is unknown with cats.

Conrad 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. Conrad 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, Conrad was 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 also said that Conrad's tail never stops wagging in his joy at his second chance in life.

We're requested that Conrad be neutered prior to his transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur. If it doesn't...Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Conrad's neuter and microchip if our Denver vet is used.

Conrad is in need of a sudsy bath and a great brushing…. he will emerge with an amazing white and brindle- colored coat that over time will speak of cottony scruffiness and good health. Conrad will require periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep this lovely coat healthy, cottony-soft and matt-free.

Conrad is currently in a foster home in the Denver area. Applications are currently being accepted and Meet and Greets are being set up for this adorable pup. An application can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If you're interested in this extremely sweet, cuddly and fun-loving pup, please fill out and return to farfelsapps@gmail.com, fax to 303-443-7730 or mail a hard copy to Farfel's Farm 906 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302.
