Story

Looking for a new furry friend? Gil is a hilarious and loveable pup with quite the goofy side. Gil is a 2 year old Chihuahua / Pomeranian mix, who is 14 lbs and has plenty of fun and love to give.
Gil is super affectionate and playful, and does great with other dogs. If you're looking for a fun, furry friend to join you on walks and adventures, Gil might be the perfect fit! Even though Gil is still a young dog, he already has a very mature personality and is extremely well-behaved. He is very intelligent and is always up for learning.
Gil was found walking down a busy street alone in Pampa, TX, and brought into a small shelter. He was never claimed as someone's dog, so Farfel's Rescue was reached out to to help this sweet boy.
From Gil's foster mom:
"Oh my god!!! Gil is HILARIOUS!!! He is so goofy and happy and bouncy and just the sweetest thing. Don't mind that worried look he always has on his face... it's just his face and the way his eyebrows are! He loves everyone and everything and is just the cutest happiest guy ever!"
Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Gil 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 Gil 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.
Gil has been fully vetted, and he is in great health, up to date on his shots, and neutered.
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.
