Story

Milo is a one to two year old Shih Tzu (we are guessing) weighing about 7-8lbs. Milo is sweet, cuddly guy who loves being around his people! He enjoys all kinds of toys and is especially good at playing fetch. He’s also a total shadow and will happily follow you wherever you go. Milo can sometimes get a little stubborn when he doesn’t want to be bothered, so he would do best with someone who understands his boundaries and can give him space when he asks for it - but will also work on sassyness and not let him get away with it. Milo is a very loving, playful boy who has lots of affection to give and is as cute as a button. His big personality will bring lots of laughs and will always make his humans smile. He will need regular grooming appointments since he seems to be lower to non-shedding dog. If you are interested in adopting Milo, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2822547##

Story

Arnold is an adorable ball of cottony fluff that deserves the love and goodness of a great adopter with love in their hearts and an understanding that acclimation to a new life can take a bit of time. Our sweet Arnold has had a challenging time in his short life. Shelters are terrifying to a little guy who doesn't understand why he's in this terribly loud and scary place. A long transport from Houston to Boulder is equally so but worth everything to get Arnold to a safe and nurturing environment. Through all the changes, this pup has never shown an ounce of aggression or meanness. It's as if he knows that a far better life is waiting for him. At just about 2 years old and 25 lbs, Arnold is a perfect size for a retired couple or individual. He would thrive on the time and attention that this group often put into their doggy best friends. A younger individual that works from a home-based office (to cuddle Arnold periodically over the course of the day) would also be perfect for a little guy who is searching for love and acceptance in his life. With patience and without a time agenda, Arnold will emerge and slowly his fears will slip away as he bonds with his new family. Arnold, coming to understand that he is loved and cherished, will become a loyal and bonded guy knowing that his environment is a safe and nurturing one. Since every dog's basic nature is to be loving, once this guy blossoms, he'll fall deeply in love with his family and become a very loyal and bonded best friend. Our wish for Arnold is a family that understands, and is patient with a dog that has gone through challenges and unkindness in his life. Farfel's has made a commitment to this wonderful dog, as we do with all our rescues, that we'll search until we find a forever family that will love, nurture and commit to him for the remainder of his life. At this point in Arnold's development, he would love to be a full-time best friend, but will hold back a bit until he's sure that the recipient of his love is kind. If treated with patience during his acclimation to his new family and life, this sweet guy will absolutely shine. Farfel's will nurture a positive vision of the world by matching Arnold to a family who expresses their devotion for him in many different ways. We'd like Arnold, when ready, to attend positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes to be the very best dog he's capable of being. These classes develop very strong bonds between a family and their dog as well as teaching skills to enable that dog to socialize in the world with appropriate behavior. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both virtual and in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area. Right now Arnold is a blank slate who, with guidance, will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved and most cuddly guy around. Arnold (once comfortable) is so loyal that he can easily be a constant companion. He would love nothing than backyard lounging and fun with his favorite people or just lap-sitting at the end of a busy day would be perfect for this very loving guy. Arnold will be flexible enough once comfortable that he can be introduced to virtually any situation, and if there is love and gentle guidance, he can succeed. Arnold, with his gorgeous, non-shedding or very lightly shedding coat will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming and excellent nutrition to keep his hair healthy and matte-free. There has been extensive new research that a human-grade, natural diet will provide a healthier (far fewer vet visits) and longer life for our best friends. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) due to our personal experience with the health of our own dogs. We wish the same for every dog we rescue. Arnold has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to be in line with our commitment to zero population growth in the canine community. Arnold will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 9/2/2026. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested in this cuddly and sweet as can be best friend, please fill out our application completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Arnold 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.

Story

Calypso is a sweet, thoughtful puppy who likes to take in the world at her own pace. She may be a little reserved at first, but her curious nature quickly comes through as she explores her surroundings and gains confidence in new environments. Above all, Calypso is a snuggler! Her favorite place is right in your lap, and she'd be perfectly content spending the day curled up close to her favorite people. Calypso is a 2-month-old mixed breed who was rescued from a high-intake shelter. This dog's adoption fee is $900 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, and spay. Calypso is also tested with other dogs, cats, and children. She is working on potty and kennel training in foster care. We would love for you to meet this dog and see if (s)he might be a good fit for your home. The first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org. Pending approval, your application is valid for 1 year, and you will be eligible to request a hold on an individual animal for the Saturday adoption event. The hold does not require that you take the animal home, but ensures you get to meet and make an adoption decision prior to other applicants. Also pending approval, you will be able to acquire foster home contact information, so you inquire on personalities of specific animals. We do offer midweek private adoption appointments for approved applicants pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules. Because we are 100% foster-based, private adoption appointments are only offered for individual animals. (If interested in viewing multiple animals at one time, we encourage you to attend our adoption events!) Please note, adoption applications are processed within 1–2 business days. Adoption applications cannot be processed onsite at adoption events. Our adoption events take place every Saturday from 10am-Noon at Pet Supplies Plus (Front Range Village, 2912 Council Tree Ave #100, Fort Collins, 80525). For additional questions regarding meeting this dog please contact us via text/email at 970.699.6772 or contact@bounceanimalrescue.org. We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to a high volume of inquiries, calls and voicemails regarding adoption will not be returned. Thank you for choosing adoption! If you would like more information about our organization, please visit our website at www.bounceanimalrescue.org.

Story

Meet Antonio – A Sweet Little Guy Finding His Brave Antonio is a one-year-old Shih Tzu who weighs 9 pounds and has the sweetest little spirit. He may be shy right now, but beneath that hesitation is a happy, curious boy who is beginning to discover just how much fun his new life can be. Antonio especially comes alive during playgroup. He loves having the freedom to explore, investigate his surroundings, and enjoy time outside. His energetic, happy personality shines when he feels comfortable, giving us wonderful glimpses of the playful little dog waiting to fully emerge. Being picked up is still something Antonio finds a little scary, but we're working with him every day through gentle, positive interactions. He's learning that hands can bring safety, affection, and comfort, and with patience and consistency, he'll continue becoming more comfortable with this part of his new life. Antonio gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys having them around. In fact, he may do best with a friendly, social dog in his new home. Having a canine companion to follow and learn from could provide reassurance as Antonio adjusts to family life and discovers all the new experiences waiting for him. His future family will need to understand that his journey will continue after adoption. Antonio may need a little extra time to settle in and trust his new people, but he'll have plenty of youthful energy and curiosity to keep everyone smiling along the way. This sweet boy is ready for someone who will celebrate every little milestone, give him the patience he needs, and show him just how wonderful being loved can be. Antonio's next chapter is waiting, and he just needs someone willing to help him write it. 📍 Available for adoption at our Dogsville location in Humansville, MO 🖱 Apply to adopt at www.nmdr.org (select Missouri) ------ Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.
