Story
** If you are interested in adopting Bonnie, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Bonnie! Bonnie is an adorable 2 year old, 29 lb Schnauzer / Dachshund mix... Or something!! She is clearly a mixed breed, and whatever she is mixed with, she got the perfect characteristics of each breed! She is adorable and does have shorter little legs.
Bonnie was found as a stray in Houston, TX, and ended up in a scary, high-kill shelter. But she’s safe now in a loving foster home, and she’s eagerly awaiting her transport to Colorado on 12/29. Just in time for the new year, Bonnie is ready for a fresh start and a forever home filled with love, snuggles, and endless belly rubs.
From Bonnie's foster:
"Bonnie is a very friendly, sweet girl! She's a total people pleaser and just wants love and affection. She seems to be house trained but did have an accident in her kennel overnight the first night. Settles in kennel with no problems and is very quiet. Hopefully she finds her voice with the right loving home. She walks well on leash, ignores other dogs but would like to chase the squirrels. She was kenneled at the shelter with another dog and is friendly with everyone."
Bonnie is up to date on her vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is spayed.
Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Bonnie in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see her left alone all day while her family works full-time outside of the home, as she is much too social for that type of arrangement.
We'd like to place Bonnie in a home where she'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group 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.
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.
