Here's what the humans have to say about me:
When we are asked about a special rescue pup that is snuggly, sweet and very fun-loving, we can't help but think of Hailey. Her smile is shining...and maybe just a bit mischievous. Hailey's rescuer knows it's morning when Hailey's little head comes under the blanket...getting closer and closer..and then a huge kiss of love. This curious and really, really smart 10 month old, 8 lb Poodle (such a great size..perfect for walking and just right to take everywhere a sweet pup is welcome) is a truly great companion. There aren't many visible signs that Hailey was in a very scary high-kill shelter pending euthanasia. She can be initially shy and can hold back just a bit in certain situations..but a warm hug and reassuring words..and Hailey bounces back and cuddles just a bit closer.
We picture Hailey as the best friend to active retirees. She'll be so loyal.. and overjoyed to share her love and good will. There's no question that Hailey would become the most popular girl on the block. Once comfortable, she loves to engage and just be her entertaining, adorable self.
Even though Hailey is usually up for pretty much anything that includes her family, she's not pushy or yappy. Exercise..perhaps a leisurely walk to socialize with neighbors..and mental stimulation that comes from her time with her humans is important to this kind girl to keep her happy and stimulated. Hailey would also enjoy time with very gentle, dog-loving kids. She's such an easy-going pup..but we wouldn't want her tail being pulled or anything but the gentlest of handling. Hailey derives so much joy from her relationships, we would love to see her in a family that loves her dearly. She's a great dog who deserves this in her life.
We feel strongly that Hailey should attend positive reinforcement group obedience classes (and will provide a list of approved trainers in your area). These classes not only promote socialization, but creates a special bonding between a dog and their guardians. It will teach Hailey the skills to go out into the community with great behavior..such a pleasure for both a dog and their family.
We've requested that Hailey be spayed prior to her transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur due to far too few vets in this industrial area of Kansas. If it doesn't, Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs for Hailey's spay and microchip if our Denver vet is used.
Hailey will arrive on transport in Denver on Tuesday 4/18/17. If interested in this sweet, devoted and very 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.
