Story
** If you are interested in adopting Holly, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Holly is a 1-year-old Dachshund mix (possibly a Chiweenie!) weighing in at just 15 lbs of pure sweetness. Her journey hasn’t been the easiest—she was found wandering the streets of New Mexico, dragging a long, rusted chain behind her, still clipped to her collar. It turns out her previous owner kept her chained up outside day and night (we’re wondering the same thing: what’s the point of having a dog if you treat them like that?!).
Thankfully, Holly found her way to freedom and never looked back. When her former owner asked the about getting her back, the shelter knew better—and instead, Holly was given a one-way ticket to Colorado and a second chance at a real life.
Now she’s ready to find a family who will never dream of leaving her outdoors, chained up. One who will welcome her onto the couch for movie nights, let her snuggle in their lap, and give her a cozy dog bed to call her own. Holly is loving, gentle, and sweet with people—and she gets along great with other dogs too!
If you’re ready to give Holly the life she’s always deserved, she’s ready to have it!
Holly is a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. With positive reinforcement training, she has all the potential in the world to be a loyal, well-mannered adult companion. She’ll thrive with virtual or in-person force-free training classes, which will help strengthen her bond with her humans and build her confidence.
Holly is up to date on her vaccinations, dewormed, heartworm negative, and is 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.
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.
