Story
** If you are interested in adopting Cooper, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Cooper is a 5 year old, 14 pound Dachshund / Chihuahua mix. (That is an educated guess, as we do not DNA test rescue dogs).
Cooper is s a very goofy, friendly, sweet, little guy!! He is good with other dogs, cats, and loves people and getting and giving affection.
From Cooper's foster:
"He is doing well!! He is a very sweet boy who wants all the love. He is mainly potty trained. He doesn't really bark much and is easy on the leash. He sleeps all night on bed with me and the cats! He is happy and nice meeting other dogs.
His appetite is good, but I have a feeling he could get a little chonky if not keeping in check as he is very food motivated. He is friendly when meeting new people too.
Another update on Cooper! He remains just perfect and so friendly. He's a very happy guy!! He came a long way in his potty training journey and waits for me to come home and take him out. He is food oriented so definitely don't leave food unattended LOL! He loves being close to you and loves attention but not in a needy way but in a companion way. His tails is constantly wagging."
We'd like to place Cooper in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement 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.
Cooper 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.
