Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Tulip, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Look at this sweet, cute eyebrowed, GORGEOUS Dachshund mix! Tulip is believed to be 2 years old, and is a tiny 8 lbs. She certainly looks mostly Dachshund, although we believe she is likely a Chiweenie (a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix).
Tulip was found as a stray in Texas and brought into a small high kill shelter. The shelter reached out to us (knowing we LOVE Dachshunds!) and of course we were so happy to help and get her out of there.
It's clear that this poor sweet girl is very confused at the moment, but she is heading into a foster home to decompress. She remains very sweet and friendly, although a tad nervous at first. She is also great with other dogs.
We don't know if Tulip has had any formal training. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young dog 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.
Tulip has been fully vetted, is up to date on her vaccines, 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.
