Story
Blossom''s engaging and sweet nature is just waiting to be enjoyed and appreciated. She is such a wonderful being...we think she represents the best qualities of both the Shih Tzu and Poodle breeds.
We realize that Blossom's only photo is awful. We've requested a clearer photo that will show the beauty of this little dog and will update upon our receipt of it.
At just about 18 months old and a tiny 13 lbs,, Blossom is the perfect size for neighborhood strolls, walks in the gorgeous Colorado mountains, car rides to dog-friendly destinations and fun backyard play..all would speak to Blossom's love of coming along and being with her family having fun. Blossom would love nothing more than to spend a day of play and walks followed by crashing on the couch for belly rubs and snuggles all night long.
Blossom is a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please. The happier her family is with her behavior, the more she shines with her accomplishments. We would love to see Blossom in a home that includes her in family time and activities. She's very social and engaging (once comfortable in her environment) and would thrive in a family that truly loves her and considers her a very important family member.
Blossom would be a wonderful companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with an adorable Shih Tzu / Poodle mix. Blossom's basic nature is to be a very happy girl who represents the joyful attitude of both the Shih Tzu and Poodle breeds. While she might be initially shy or frightened (rehoming is often scary), some kind words, a loving hug and a yummy treat and Blossom falls deeply in love.
Blossom doesn't require another dog to be happy. She loves her people dearly and if they're attentive and loving, this sweet and loyal girl will be fulfilled and very content. If a gentle dog is already part of a family, that's great with Blossom as well. She enjoys her time spent in the company of a gentle canine and that dog will become Blossom's best friend.
Blossom will do well with any loving guardian who's invested in spending time with their pup. She's so pleasant and portable that she can be a part of any adventure. It can be a leisurely walk socializing with neighbors, a picnic in the park or a visit with family or friends. A car ride is also always great especially if it leads to a fun, dog-loving destination. At day's end, a spot on the bed all night beside her favorite humans will speak to the loving nature of this little dog.
Blossom's New Mexico rescuer had the following to say about our sweet girl:
Miss Blossom is a one of a kind special girl. She is so full of sweet energy and is as happy as can be once she's comfortable in her environment. Miss B has had some difficult changes in her life and now that she's with us, she's finally understanding that she's a very wonderful being. I can see her self-esteem growing stronger each day. It's truly a joy to observe!
Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Blossom out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual and in-person trainers in your area.
Blossom will be up to date on her vetting and vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed in support of a future where canine euthanasia due to lack of shelter space is a practice of the past.
Blossom will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 1/25/2025. Adoption applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and cuddly best friend. An app can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Blossom, 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 most 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.
