My story

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

Meet Tony! Tony is an adorable 2 and a half-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs in at just 9 pounds of pure charm.

Tony's journey began when he was found wandering the streets of Carlsbad, NM, and brought to a small shelter as a stray. But now, Tony is ready to start a new chapter in Colorado, where he hopes to find a family to call his own.

From Tony’s Foster:
* * * *
"Tony is SUCH a sweet little guy! Once he got into my home he really warmed up super fast! He does great with all my dogs. He is sweet and friendly and playful and happy. Oh, and SO cuddly!!!!
He sleeps in bed with me under the covers and is a super cuddle bug!

Tony is definitely potty trained - hasn't had a single accident inside or even marked in my house (hallelujah!)

I would expect him to be a tad shy when going into his adoptive home, but he really warmed up really fast with me! Like in less than 24 hours he was cuddly, kissing me, and playing with toys!

He is really just so sweet and goofy! Great little dog!!”
* * * *

Tony would thrive in a home where he’s showered with affection and attention. He’s a social little guy (once comfortable with his new people) who thrives on companionship and would do best in a home with an individual or family (older children are preferred to avoid any tail-pulling or rough handling) who works from home or active retirees who can offer him the love and care he deserves.

We'd like to place Tony 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 for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his 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.

Tony has been fully vetted, and he is in great health and up to date on his vaccines. 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.
