Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Australian Cattle Dogs (and Blue Heelers) are a perfect choice for those who are searching for an extremely smart and loyal family dog. Of utmost importance...they're famous for their great temperaments and extremely loving and snuggly ways. They're known to be trustworthy and gentle with family members and other family pets. Since herding dogs require exercise and absolutely love being with their people...if a hike is the order of the day - count them in! These dogs are known to run joyfully and energetically through the Colorado mountains...and then crash on the couch snuggling close to their favorite humans and canines.
Miley's sweet nature is just waiting to be enjoyed and appreciated...she makes close playmates everywhere she goes. Miley is outgoing and social and that means everyone she meets ultimately becomes a friend. You know when a loved one approaches, Miley's tail starts the greeting and it wiggles up through her entire body ending into a smile. And if a spot on the couch is available, up Miley goes to cuddle and snuggle and let you know the level of her devotion. Miley is such a wonderful being...we think she represents the best qualities of the herding dog breed. At about 11/2-2 years old and 28 lbs, Miley is leaving behind the neglect and lack of love that made up her early life. She has become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please - the happier her family is with her behavior, the more she shines with her accomplishments. We would like to see Miley in a home that includes her in family time and activities...she's very social and would thrive in a family that truly loves her and considers her a very important family member. Miley would be a wonderful companion for retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a truly adorable young girl. Miley would also do well with a family with gentle, dog-loving kids who want to make her a true member of the family. Miley doesn't require another dog to be happy...but does enjoy her canine relationships with kind and gentle dogs.
Miley will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 10/7/16. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/. If you're interested in this sweet, cuddly and super-smart 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.
