Story
** If you are interested in adopting Jenny please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Jenny! Jenny is a 9 year old Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel / Poodle mix) looking for a loving home to spend her golden years in. She was bought as a puppy by her owner, which is how we know she's a Cockapoo.
Jenny spent her whole life being loved by her owner, who sadly had to move to an assisted living facility. A family member surrendered her to us, and now she's ready to find a new person to call her own.
Jenny is a sweet, friendly girl who gets along with everyone she meets; people and other dogs alike. She's social and warm, and she's used to being part of a home, so she's fully house trained and knows how to be a good housemate. She's a bit on the chunky side at 35 pounds and could stand to lose about 5 pounds, so light daily walks and portion control will help her get back to a healthy weight.
From Jenny's foster, who is her previous owner's son:
"Jenny is well trained. Potty trained, walks well on leash (will pull if she sees a bunny though!), good home manners, etc.
She wants to sleep in the bed , but just as comfy on the floor. She sleeps in bed with me and my dog. She is a little intimidated by dogs on walks that have a lot of energy, but that's just because she's a mellow lady.
Her worst habit is begging, as my mom unfortunately fed her from her plate. I give her a frozen kong when I eat. She is learning not to beg, and improving.
She is very food motivated.
She has lived her whole 9 years with an elderly woman in a house with full yard and quiet neighborhood"
Jenny is diabetic and needs two insulin shots a day. It sounds like a lot, but it becomes a quick part of the daily routine, and the cost is very manageable (about $100 for a 45-day supply of insulin, so less than $100 a month). We're happy to go over everything with her adopters before she goes home.
Jenny is up to date on her vaccines, spayed, and otherwise in good health. She will also be sent home with 45 days worth of her insulin.
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.
