Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Shadow please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Shadow! Shadow is believed to be a Catahoula / Greyhound mix, with the sweetest personality! Shadow is 7 months old and 31 lbs. Shadow was an owner surrender to a small high kill shelter in Houston, but unfortunately that's all we know. Since the shelter was so full, she was immediately put on the euthanasia list, and Farfel's Rescue was reached out to to help this sweet girl.
Notes from Shadow's foster mom:
* * * * *
"Shadow is such a sweet girl! She is a very happy puppy, who was just a bit timid at first... I can't blame her though, that shelter must have been scary!
She LOVES other dogs and loves to play. She is a bit slower warming up to people than she is with dogs (she loves all other dogs right away) but she warms up fast to people when given some treats and pets.
She has magnificent coloring and I know with socializing and training she will be the best family dog. Shadow wants to trust humans and I know once she decompresses, she will really blossom!
She would also benefit from being in a home where there is another dog. She really loves playing with my dogs."

Most rescue dogs that come to our rescue, we don't know much of their background. Typically they have not had much (if any) prior training.
Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.
Shadow has been fully check by a vet, heartworm tested (negative), and is up to date on her vaccines. She is also spayed.
Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial.
Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year.
Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet dog! An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
