Story

Anakin is around 5 years old. We adopted him from Mesa County Animal Services about 1.5 years ago. He is a very loving dog but does not do well with kids. They are too high energy and he gets grouchy when they get to close or try to play with him. We don't know much about his background but the way he acts leads me to believe that he was abused by a man at some point in his life. He is missing 90% of his teeth which the vet has told us will not hinder his ability to eat. He tolerates me but if I try to hug my wife or tickle her when he's around he thinks I'm hurting her and tries to protect her. He's never been super aggressive but recently when having a bunch of kids at the house, I believe he just got was over stimulated and bit me causing me to need 7 stiches. In the time we've had him he's never acted this way. I believe the kids are just to much for him. Personally I think he would be a good fit for a single female or at least a household without small kids.

Story

We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see a sweet young dog that needs our help. Kazoo is one of these dogs that deserves all the love she'll bring to a family, to have a wonderful home filled with pure love and nurturing. Kazoo is a cute as can be, tiny, 7 lb, 2 year old Dachshund / Chihuahua mix. This pup is SO sweet and once acclimated to her new life, will make a wonderful addition to a dog-loving family. Kazoo was found abandoned in a dog park in Pampa Texas, and brought into a small shelter. From there she was transported to Colorado to start her new life. From Kazoo's foster: * * * "Zoo zoo, as I've been calling her, is the best! This tiny girl is SO sweet. She is so petite and adorable with her crazy ears! She loves being held and cuddled. She sleeps in bed with us and sleeps under the covers all night. She plays with the dogs and loves toys. Zoo-Zoo eats her food side by side with my dogs with no issue. She is getting along great with all 6 other dogs in the home, and she is showing more and more of her sweet little personality every day! She has seen my cat twice and has not reacted to her. She’s so spunky and silly and does this cute little thing where she stands on 2 feet and crosses her arms. I would say she is so close to being potty trained... She doesn't like going when I watch, so she will only potty outside if I pretend not to look. She's never gone potty in the house during the day, but I put a potty pad on the ground over night and she has been using that once in the middle of the night. She is truly just the cutest thing ever!!! Dachshund / Chihuahua seems SO accurate, but I swear she got the perfect traits of each breed! Note -- While I am fostering both Tulip and Kazoo, and it is clear that they are littermates, I do NOT believe that they are bonded. I think if someone wants to adopt both of them, that is fine, but I definitely do not believe that they need to go to the same home. Both of them would do totally fine on their own. They don't cuddle or play or hangout much with each other.” * * * Kazoo is a perfect size to be able to accompany her family just about everywhere a tiny dog is welcome. She will fit right into virtually every situation due to her great temperament and love of life. Our dream for this very loving pup is a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes her for life. As Kazoo becomes comfortable in her forever home, she'll blossom and become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please. The happier her family is with her behavior, the more Kazoo will shine with her accomplishments. Farfel's would like to see our wonderful Doxy in a home that includes her in family time and activities (and some lap or couch-time with belly rubs would be absolutely perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Kazoo the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free trainers in your area. Kazoo has been fully vetted, is up to date on her vaccinations and has been spayed. This supports Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs that won't contribute to the overpopulation crisis in the canine population. Kazoo is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and very loving best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Kazoo 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 most 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.

Story

** If you are interested in adopting Tulip, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Look at this sweet, cute eyebrowed, GORGEOUS Dachshund mix! Tulip is believed to be 2 years old, and is a tiny 8 lbs. She is believed to be a Chiweenie (Chihuahua / Dachshund). Tulip was found in Pampa Texas, abandoned in a dog park with 2 other dogs, and they were all brought into a small high kill shelter. The shelter reached out to us (knowing we LOVE Dachshunds!) and of course we were so happy to help and get her out of there. From Tulip's foster: * * * * "I love this girl! She is really really sweet and SUPER loveable. Very very cuddly, and if she could be in your arms or lap 24/7, she would be! She gets along great with all 6 other dogs in the home, and she sleeps in bed with us under the covers. Tulip seems potty trained! She has not gone inside once yet, and goes potty outside right when we go to the yard. She is definitely an attention hog, and if she sees one of my dogs on my lap she will squeeze her way in and try to get you to pet her instead. Tulip is just incredibly sweet, and loves my husband too. Her only quirk I have noticed is that she will NOT attempt the stairs yet. Luckily she weighs as much as a feather and is easy to carry up and down! Note -- While I am fostering both Tulip and Kazoo, and it is clear that they are littermates, I do NOT believe that they are bonded. I think if someone wants to adopt both of them, that is fine, but I definitely do not believe that they need to go to the same home. Both of them would do totally fine on their own. They don't cuddle or play or hangout much with each other. " * * * * Tulip doesn't appear to have any prior 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. Tulip 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. If you are interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ . **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application.

Story

Ellie is a 2-3 year old short legged, long bodied cutie weighing about 30lbs.  Ellie was dumped at a shelter in New Mexico with her six babies.  Overcrowded shelters in this partilcar area are very unsafe for pups, especially unvaccinated pups.  Ellie worked so hard to keep her puppie healthy and safe, she was suuuch a good Momma.  By the time we were able to find the fosters to get her and her pups from the shelter, two of them had passed away, most likely from intestinal parasites, which is 100% preventable, if only treated.  While broken hearted, we felt lucky that we were able to save the four that we did and we could tell Momma Ellie was very grateful too.  Ellie has now been in a foster home on her own for a few weeks and is ready to find her forever family.  Here is what her foster Momma has to say about her: "Ellie is a sweet, shy girl that loves treats and snuggles.  She is still a little nervous with everything she has been through, but she has been learning how to be a dog at her foster home and it is so fun to watch her grow and learn each day.  Ellie has learned that the crate isnt scary because of the yummy treats she gets, she is very food motivated.  She would do well with another dog around her size to learn from, love, and play with.  Ellie loves bed time and snuggles close with her foster Momma and the other dogs all night.  She has the cutest smile when shes really happy and getting love and pets.  She will make an absolutely wonderful companion for someone" If you are interested in adopting Ellie, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2034602##

Gretel

Dachshund

Female, Senior

Denver, CO

(when grown) -

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs special attention,

Story

Gretel is a super sweetheart that has recently lost her vision due to a disease called SARDS. She gets along very well using her other senses to find her way.  She loves humans, however she is not a fan of other dogs. We think that this is partly because she can't see the body language of the other dogs. She comes when you call her, and will follow you everywhere. She LOVES laps. She came to us weighing 24 pounds and has lost 4 pounds already.  She will need to loose another 3-4 pounds and she will be a great weight once again. She will need a home with a yard as she came from a home that had a yard and she doesn't do well doing her business on a leash.  We think that a home that has someone home the majority of the time, and no young children would be the best place for her.  She has had a recent dental, stayed, UTD on all her vaccinations, and is micro chipped.  April 22, 2024, 4:11 pm
