Story
** If you are interested in adopting Bear, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Bear! Bear is an adorable, 5-year-old, 14lb Corgi/Chihuahua mix with a heart as big as his smile.
Bear has spent his whole life in a loving home, but when his owner became ill with cancer, he was lovingly passed to a family member. Sadly, they weren’t able to keep him long-term, and now this sweet boy is looking for a forever home once again. Through it all, Bear has remained incredibly resilient, trusting, and full of love. And wow… does this little guy LOVE everyone!
Bear is truly a social butterfly in every sense of the word. He lights up when he meets new people, happily greeting strangers like long-lost friends, and he absolutely thrives on attention and affection. Whether it’s tail wags, happy dances, or snuggling up close, Bear is always ready to share his joy.
He’s also fantastic with other dogs and really enjoys their company. Bear would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to play with, but he’d also do just fine soaking up all the love as your one and only. His easygoing, friendly personality makes him a wonderful fit for so many different types of homes.
Bear is potty trained as well.
Bear is the kind of dog who brings warmth and happiness wherever he goes. He doesn’t dwell on the changes in his life—he just keeps loving, trusting, and wagging his tail. All he needs now is a forever family to call his own again.
Farfel's Rescue and our Arkansas rescue partners would love to see Bear 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 Bear 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.
Bear is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is 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.
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.
