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 is believed to be a Chiweenie (Chihuahua / Dachshund).
Tulip was found in Pampa Texas, abandoned in a dog park with 2 other dogs, and they were all 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.
From Tulip's foster:

"I love this girl! She is really really sweet and SUPER loveable. Very very cuddly, and if she could be in your arms or lap 24/7, she would be!
She gets along great with all 6 other dogs in the home, and she sleeps in bed with us under the covers.
Tulip seems potty trained! She has not gone inside once yet, and goes potty outside right when we go to the yard.
She is definitely an attention hog, and if she sees one of my dogs on my lap she will squeeze her way in and try to get you to pet her instead.
Tulip is just incredibly sweet, and loves my husband too. Her only quirk I have noticed is that she will NOT attempt the stairs yet. Luckily she weighs as much as a feather and is easy to carry up and down!
Note -- While I am fostering both Tulip and Kazoo, and it is clear that they are littermates, I do NOT believe that they are bonded. I think if someone wants to adopt both of them, that is fine, but I definitely do not believe that they need to go to the same home. Both of them would do totally fine on their own. They don't cuddle or play or hangout much with each other. "

Tulip doesn't appear to have any prior 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.
