Meet Theo
7 years old • 15.6 lbs • Neutered Male • Rat terrier / Chihuahua Mix

This soulful little sweetheart was found wandering the streets of New Mexico, and despite our best efforts, no one has come forward to claim him. But honestly? Their loss could be your greatest gift.

At just over 15 pounds, Theo is the perfect pint-sized companion. He’s already neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to start the next chapter of his life with someone who will love him forever. While we don’t know much about his past, his gentle demeanor and big, expressive eyes say it all — he’s a soft soul who simply wants to be close to his people.

His foster says, "Theo is a calm, gentle, couch potato. He's good with other dogs and very food motivated. Treats are the way to get his attention and the way to his heart."

Theo is the kind of dog who will quietly curl up beside you while you work, trot alongside you on peaceful walks, and send you loving glances from across the room. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate little buddy with a heart of gold, Theo might just be your perfect match.

We’d love to place Theo in a home where he’ll receive consistent love, gentle structure, and positive outlets for his energy. A positive reinforcement training class — either in person or virtual — can be a wonderful way to build confidence, deepen your bond, and set him up for long-term success. Because training is such an important part of every dog’s journey, we require adopters to commit to this loving step. Farfel’s is happy to provide a list of recommended force-free, positive reinforcement trainers in your area.

Theo is fully vetted, neutered, in excellent health, and ready to find his forever family. Could that be you?

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.
