Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you're searching for a devoted and loving best friend....Bear is the pup you want to have around! Bear, at just about 3 years old and approximately 6 lbs (the perfect size for long walks as well as lap time), is just naturally a lover ....when he looks at you with those dark, expressive eyes and sweet smile, your heart just has to melt. Bear is a truly beautiful Yorkshire Terrier..he has all the traits that make these very beautiful and personality-plus dogs one of the most popular breeds around.
Bear enjoys his time with his rescuer so much that he joins her just about everywhere he goes...it's important to Bear to be a true best friend! He loves his people and would definitely win a lap-dog (or couch hogger) award. Bear cuddles close with his beautiful head draped over his favorite person's leg...an occasional kiss from Bear is inevitable. He's a sensitive guy and derives so much joy from his time spent with kind, dog-loving people.
Bear is a young, healthy guy who will love his family with all his heart. He would enjoy another kind and gentle dog to play with (although if his family is loving and present, Bear would do fine alone as well). He would love nothing more than to lie in the sunshine enjoying a beautiful day with a doggie or human friend. Bear would have so much fun exploring and taking walks along the Colorado paths. He is always open to new activities...just say the word and up he jumps for a car ride or just a sociable walk around the neighborhood.
Bear is a very affectionate and loving dog. We would love to see him in a home with a family (older kids preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward carrying) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and kind dog. We'd hate to see Bear left alone all day while his family works full-time...we think he's too sensitive for that. He's such an amazing dog and just the right size and temperament to accompany his people just about anywhere.
Farfel's Rescue would like to see Bear in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and tons of hugs. A continuing group training class promotes great behavior and confidence for a smart little guy who is learning about the world.
Bear has the gorgeous, non-shedding coat of the purebred Yorkie. Through neglect and a loveless home, Bear's coat was never given the care it requires. The forever family that we're searching for will understand that a commitment to grooming and great nutrition is mandatory for the well-being and self-esteem of this beautiful little guy.
Bear is in a foster home in the Boulder area. If interested in this sweet and devoted...and very 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.
