Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see a sweet dog that needs our help. Patty is one of these dogs that deserves all the love and to have a wonderful home filled with love and nurturing.
Patty is a cute as can be, 3 year old, 15 lb Chihuahua (with maybe a touch of Corgi in the mix). This girl, while initially nervous as many rescue dogs, is SO sweet once acclimated, and will make a wonderful addition to a dog-crazy family.
Patty was picked up in New Mexico and brought into a small, over-crowded shelter. She was so terrified upon intake, that we knew we had to help this sweet girl.
Patty is a perfect size to be able to accompany her family just about everywhere a tiny dog is welcome. She will fit right into virtually every situation due to her great temperament and love of life. Our dream for this very loving pup is a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes her for life.
As Patty becomes comfortable in her forever home, she will blossom and become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please. The happier her family is with her behavior, the more she will shine with her accomplishments. Farfel's would like to see our wonderful Chihuahua mix in a home that includes her in family time and activities (some lap or couch-time with belly rubs would be absolutely perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Patty the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free trainers in your area.
Patty will be a loving and devoted companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a silly, fun-loving and irresistible dog. She would love to have another gentle and fun dog to play with but it's not mandatory if her people are nurturing and involved.
This girl would also do well with a younger family that works from a home-based office. She would bask in the attention and cuddles periodically throughout the day that this life-style brings.
(Patty is un-tested with kids, and since she is nervous initially, we think she would do best in a home with no kids, or kids over 13 years of age).
Patty has been fully vetted, spayed and is up to date on her vaccinations. These protocols support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs that won't contribute to the canine overpopulation crisis.
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.
