Story
** If you are interested in adopting Kyle, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Kyle is an adorable, 3 year old, 7 pound Chihuahua mix with a friendly, and super sweet personality. This little guy was found walking through a neighborhood in New Mexico. When they scanned him for a microchip and found his owner, his owner said "eh, keep him." and so Kyle sat in the shelter, confused and waiting for his owner who never came for him.
Now, Kyle has come to Colorado to find a forever family who will never leave him behind ever again!
Kyle has shown himself to have the silliest personality! He is friendly, happy, great with people and great with other dogs. He enjoys being in a home with another dog so much that we are making it a requirement that he is only adopted to a home with another dog. He loves his doggy friends!
From Kyle's foster:
"Kyle is a big time snuggler, loves leash walks and other dogs, and is eating well and playing with a lot of toys! He does great with our dog. He is great with all of us humans in the home (me, my husband, and our 2 kids who are 10 and 11) and he really hasn't chosen a favorite! He follows and cuddles us all equally. He loves to be held. He is always wagging his tail!
He is also potty trained! "
Kyle 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 Kyle 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 Kyle 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.
