Here's what the humans have to say about me:
There's nothing quite like puppy energy and silliness...and then they lie quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm baby breath. They're so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think of them in a high-kill shelter! Radar, at only 9 weeks old and 8 lbs (is estimated to be full grown at about 35 - 40 lbs), was facing the end of his life before it ever began.
Farfel's Texas rescuers are compassionate and loving and couldn't turn their back on this puppy...they rescued Radar just in time. This sweet and engaging Lab/Border Collie mix is starting out with great energy...the excellent results of his temperament-testing ended with a transport ticket to Colorado and a new life.
Radar is also incredibly beautiful...with striking pure white hair with amazing silver markings that have come out since he received a sudsy bath.
Radar is appropriately playful and inquisitive for his young age. He's so smart and very engaging...so typical of a well-socialized puppy. Radar is also engaging and loving...clearly having no memory of his scary start.
Since Radar is just a baby, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome companion and will form firm bonds with his family (as well as other dogs and humans). Radar can learn positive socialization skills through Puppy Kindergarten followed by positive reinforcement group Obedience Classes. It does take time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you in the world with appropriate behavior.
We're open to Radar finding his forever home with a very active retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a puppy. Radar is great with children as well but we would prefer to place him in a home with slightly older kids that can participate in a gentle yet consistent puppy training regimen.
Radar will be up to date on his vetting. We're hoping that he will be neutered when he arrives from Texas, however a very young puppy like Radar is often deemed too young to be fixed. If this is the case, Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Radar's neuter if our Denver vet is used
Radar will be arriving on transport in Boulder sometime in mid to late September. If interested in this very loving and fun best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
