Meet Pete! Pete is an adorable, 4 year old, 15 pound Chiweenie! (Dachshund / Chihuahua mix)
Pete was found as a stray in Pampa, Texas and brought to a small rural shelter, where he quickly showed everyone just how friendly and social he is. Thanks to his happy, easygoing nature and excellent manners with other dogs, Pete was chosen to share a kennel with another dog at the shelter, which speaks volumes about how well he does in close quarters with canine friends.
From Pete's foster:

"Oh my god we LOVE Pete!!!!!!
He is SO sweet like if you crouch down to his level and try to pet him, he hops right up into your lap. He just wants to be held and loved or be on your lap and be loved. He is so affectionate!
He was shy at first, but still wanted pets and to be on my lap. But after 24 hours with me, he is totally warmed up!
He has really been the perfect pup! No barking (except 1 tiny one when he saw himself in the mirror and got spooked haha).
He does well on walks and is super polite when meeting other dogs. Sometimes loud noises on walks can spook him, like a big truck zooming by, etc. so we cut walks short if he's feeling uncomfy. He would probably do best in a home with a yard so he can go potty without the distractions! He has never barked on a walk. Just will get a little timid at loud noises.
We had some friends over last night and he was a tad shy at first, but warmed up and was soon asking everyone for pets!
He would prefer a female adopter, as he is a lot more shy with men. Not mean or anything - we had 2 guys over last night with our friends and he didn't bark at them or anything, he just didn't want to go up to them.
He has had 2 potty accidents in the first 2 days home with us, but he goes outside every time we take him out.
He is a major snuggle bug and sleeps in bed with me and he loves it! He rolls over onto his back for belly rubs every time we get into bed!"

Pete is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.
Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Pete in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.
We'd like to place Pete 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.
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.
Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

An Adoption Application and an Adoption Contract must be completed before any dog can begin their one week foster. Our average adoption fee is $695. This amount serves to cover vetting, spay/neuter, all vaccinations, temperament testing, transport, a microchip, harness, food, and treats.
Our dogs come from Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and rural Colorado.

Pets are transported from the southern states every week. Almost 100% of the time, the dogs are spoken for as a result of adoption applications that can be referenced under Adoption at farfelsrescue.com. We study the applications. If the app indicates there is a match, followed up by a home visit and reference checks, the process moves to the next step. The adopter is committing to a one week foster (of course the dog can be returned at any time prior), and can then choose to finalize the adoption.

More about this rescue
We own a pet boutique named Farfel's Farm & Rescue on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. We have had the good fortune to find our niche in the Boulder community and experience success. We felt it very important to "pay it forward" in gratitude. We couldn't think of a better endeavor than to save dogs who were out of time in the southern states, yet had been identified with great temperaments. We dedicate our efforts to their good health and ultimate wonderful, permanent homes.
