Story
** If you are interested in adopting Bowie, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
This goofy little guy is believed to be a 4-year-old Jack Russell Terrier / Dachshund mix. He is 18 lbs, but should lose a few lbs. He should be around 15-16 lbs at a healthy weight.
Bowie is very sweet and goofy, and has the cutest little trot. He also has a gorgeous single blue eye, to match his gorgeous markings!
Bowie was found as a stray in rural Texas and taken in by a small shelter, where he has made friends with all the staff and the other dogs. Now Bowie has arrived to Colorado to find the forever home he deserves.
From Bowie's foster mom:
"Bowie is super sweet! He is great with all 5 of my dogs, and didn't even bat an eye when he met my cat. He is a good boy -- super cuddly, great on a leash, super friendly. Loves to give kisses to people. He sleeps on a dog bed at night like a good boy and walks right beside me out on walks. He is a great little guy and will make someone happy!"
We don’t know if Bowie has had any formal training, but a (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class will help him build confidence, bond with his new family, and master good manners. Training is essential for a successful adoption, and Farfel’s is happy to provide a list of recommended force-free trainers to set him up for success.
Bowie has been fully vetted, is up to date on vaccines, and 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.
