Story
** If you are interested in adopting Miley, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Miley is a super friendly, very social, quite perfect little girl! She is a Jack Russel / Dachshund mix and is 2 years old and 15 lbs. She looks extra small for a 15 pound dog, since she has short little legs!
Miley was surrendered to a shelter in rural Texas after her owner "had a psychotic episode"... The shelter reached out to us and let us know that we just had to take this "perfect dog"! They said everyone was OBSESSED with Miley at the shelter. They changed her name to "Smiley" because "she makes everyone smile!".
Miley is potty trained, super social, great with people, great with kids (she's been tested with kids 6+), and great with other dogs.
From Miley's foster:
"Smiley Miley is doing GREAT!!! She is so happy and friendly. She's great with my dog. Fully potty trained. Always wagging her tail! She doesn't know a stranger and greets everyone like they're friends she's known forever! She is very affectionate and loves pets, cuddles, and being on your lap."
We'd like to place Miley in a home where she'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.
Miley is up to date on her vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, 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.
