Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in Sierra, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Sierra is a great example of why people love Cattle Dogs.
At just about 2 years old (such a great age..young enough to have many, many active and healthy years ahead and old enough to be beyond babyish behaviors) and a small 33 lbs., Sierra is open and curious to learn about the world. She is a loyal and loving girl who bonds hard and respects those that are kind and loving to her.
Sierra had a tough early start in life and ended up homeless in Texas through no fault of her own. Sierra has a spirit about her that caught the attention of compassionate rescuers. They saved her from euthanasia at a scary high-kill shelter (due to space), and fell in love with her sweetness and kind nature.
The following is from Sierra's foster:
"This girl is absolutely amazing!! She goes to playgroup with around 10 other dogs every morning and does great. She is very people friendly and very well mannered."
Farfel's Rescue feels that Sierra will be a wonderful best friend for active retirees or a younger family that enjoys including a fuzzy little dog in their activities. She will be overjoyed with the time spent and togetherness, becoming with time, a loyal best friend and a very important member of the family.
Sierra will thrive with a family with dog-crazy older kids who enjoy fun activities with their pup. They would be able to participate in positive reinforcement group training classes to teach Sierra the skills to be able to accompany her family out in the community with excellent behavior. Farfel's will provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers in your area.
Sierra can be relied on, once confident in her surroundings, to share her love and best behavior with her humans. As her confidence grows, she blossoms into a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to share time, play and learning new skills with a kind and committed family. We feel that a full-time workday outside of the home for her family won't work for Sierra. She thrives on family-time and being at home while her people works full-time isn't in the best interest of this devoted companion.
Sierra will be very in-sync with a family that includes her in dog-friendly adventures, backyard fun, exploring the Colorado mountains or window shopping on Pearl Street to learn urban skills are great adventures for Sierra.
Sierra has been vetted and vaccinated to honor our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She is spayed as well.
Sierra will be arriving on transport in Boulder in early April. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and very loving best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Annie please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com.
