My story

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

Vinne looked every bit the stray as he came into a very high-kill shelter in Kansas. It was possible that he had never had a haircut or a bath in his entire 1-year life. Vinnie represents the sad opportunism that is so present in breeding what is looked at as "designer dogs". They're treated so poorly and disrespectfully…and then disposed of when their perceived use is over. But…under all that hair and matts is a gorgeous guy with the sweetest soul. He deserves a great life every bit as much as any other living being…he has a wonderful disposition and through it all, still has the desire to love and be loved. He tries so hard to show that he's worthy of a permanent family to adore and respect him. His little tail wags hesitantly when he sees a possibility for a pat or any loving gesture. He would be overjoyed if he got gentle attention…it would bring a light to those sad eyes! Farfel's is searching for that special family for this exceptional Shih Tzu/Westie mix (or at least that's what the Kansas vets tell us Vinnie is). Vinnie is about to get his hair shaved for the first time…enabling it to grow back in soft golden waves. Then you will see the soft glow in his eyes that speak of a gentle soul. We're searching for a family that wants to spend time with this golden guy. He would learn from the gentle guidance and time put in of people who love him…he will return that devotion a million times over once he understands that he can trust. We feel that Vinnie would enjoy a retired couple or individual or a family with older children who will be gentle and loving toward Vinnie. It's a new path that this sensitive guy is pursuing…he'll be so successful with the knowledge that he is loved and chosen to be a member of a very special family. Vinnie is a non-shedding guy and will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition to bring out the beauty and good health of his amazing coat.
Vinnie will be arriving on transport on Saturday 12/7. Applications and inquiries are currently being accepted for this exceptional companion.
