Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Fiona, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Fiona is the sweetest, friendliest little girl ever! She is 3 years old and 12 lbs. She is believed to be a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix.
Fiona was a victim of circumstance through no fault of her own. She was found as a stray in Texas where the streets are crawling with homeless dogs. Fiona ended up in a small town shelter where no dog should ever be. Farfel's Texas rescue partner was very pleased to find that Fiona is very healthy, cuddly, playful, and loves other dogs. They made the collective decision that the greatest home they could imagine for Fiona would be in Colorado. Farfel's was contacted (we were thrilled!) and a transport ticket was issued for this wonderful girl.
Fiona is just gorgeous! She has a stunning blonde coat that you just want to pet her and tell her how beautiful she is. Her coat could be much more soft and shiney with commitment to periodic baths/brushing and excellent nutrition.
5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are recommended for excellent general health and to keep her coat silky-soft and very healthy.
Most of the time these rescue dogs have not had any training. Unfortunately we do not know Fiona's background, as she was found as a stray.
A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young girl whose self-esteem will fly high while she masters her skills. 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.
Our training requirement is to help every adoption be successful.
Fiona is up to date on her vaccines, heartworm tested (negative) and 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.
