Story
*** If you are interested in Kira, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ***
Meet Kira, an 8 month old, ADORABLE Basset Hound / Beagle mix who is as charming as she is adorable! Weighing in at 34 lbs, this short lady is the epitome of the Basset breed, with her signature stumpy legs, ridiculously long ears, and a face that could melt even the coldest of hearts!
Kira has the sweetest, most gentle spirit. She and her littermate were rescued as part of a litter of puppies found abandoned on a rural property in Arkansas. Now, after months of love and care, Kira is ready to find her forever home in Colorado!
Kira is a lovable, friendly girl who adores people and gets along well with other dogs. Even though she is a youngster at 8 months old, her foster says that Kira has a calm and affectionate nature—perfect for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion.
Kira has been around kids aged 7 & 9 years old and did great with them (with supervision, as always) and would thrive in a home where she can continue to grow and experience all the joys of being part of a family.
We are unsure if Kira has had any formal 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.
Kira 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.
