My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** If you are interested in adopting Leo, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **

Meet Leo! Leo is a super friendly boy, who’s always requesting belly rubs.

Leo is believed to be a Labradoodle mix, with likely some Schnauzer in him. He is believed to be around 2 years old, though may be a bit younger due to his puppy-like, playful demeanor. He is full grown at 25 lbs.

Originally, Leo was found roaming around in Houston, TX. He was brought into a small shelter, but no one ever came looking or to reclaim him. He transported to Colorado, and was adopted winter of 2023.

However, Leo is now back with Farfel's rescue, as his owner moved in with a partner with an older dog that doesn't appreciate Leo's playful energy.

Now Leo is seeking a forever home with someone who has the time and energy to give a happy, friendly, playful young dog.

Leo has been thriving in his foster home, and has been great with people and all other dogs. He loves sprawling out on his back and requesting tummy rubs.

The following is from Leo's foster:

* * *
"Introducing Leo, the epitome of canine charm! Leo is not just a dog; he's a bundle of joy waiting to light up your life. With his friendly demeanor, loving nature, and playful spirit, Leo is sure to steal your heart from the moment you meet him. He's not just smart; he's curious, always eager to explore the world around him. Leo thrives on attention and treats, and he's not afraid to show it!

Leo is not just a playful pup; he's also well-mannered and potty trained, making him a breeze to have around the house. At night, he loves to cozy up in his bed in the bedroom.

He would do great with another playful dog in the home, but he also loves playing with people so another dog is not necessary for him to be happy.

If you're looking for a loyal and energetic companion to join your family, Leo is ready to make memories with you. Leo will light up your home with his love and enthusiasm!"

We'd like to place Leo in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. 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.

Leo is up to date on his vetting and vaccines, and he is neutered as well.

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.
