Story

Meet Gigi! Gigi is an adorable, 1 year old, 14lb Miniature Schnauzer. She appears to be purebred, with her little tail, but we cannot say for sure!
Gigi was found as a stray in Pampa Texas, and shelter staff truly believed someone would come looking for her because she was just that wonderful. She was friendly, well behaved, affectionate, and clearly used to being loved. Day after day, she waited patiently for her family to reclaim her... but sadly, no one ever came. Once her stray hold was up, Gigi packed her bags for Colorado and is now settling into foster care where she is finally getting the love and stability she deserves.
From Gigi's foster:
"She is WONDERFUL!!!! She's the softest, sweetest little thing who bonds so quickly! She's great with Teddy (my dog) and everyone else in the house! She is so sweet and friendly and social. Did I mention yet that she is SO sweet!?
She enjoys walks and seems mostly potty trained, though has had a few small accidents so may need a tiny bit more work there."
Gigi has some wild hair from her time in the shelter, and is looking forward to a proper spa day and growing out her coat so she can fully embrace her fabulous schnauzer look again. Underneath that bad haircut is a beautiful little dog with an even more beautiful heart.
We'd like to place Gigi 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.
Gigi 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.
