My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Banana was found roaming the streets in Arkansas before our rescue partners scooped him up now he's coming to CO in search of a forever home. We believe that Banana is a Doberman/Mountain dog mix and he's about 63lbs, and 1.5yrs old. Banana has been blossoming in his foster home. He's leash trained and knows several commands. However, he can climb fences so he can't be left outside unsupervised.

Banana will fit in with a family or individual that enjoys their time outdoors..he loves the sunshine and would be overjoyed with a walk, a fenced yard and a sunny porch. He is more than happy to engage in anything her guardian has in mind ...and smiles with joy at being included. We feel that Banana will thrive in a family that includes their dog in their lives...leaving him alone at home for long hours wouldn't work for this sensitive guy. Banana is so pleasant and can therefore accompany his family just about anywhere a sweet pup is welcome. We would love a family that will give Banana the benefit of using his skills to come along with his family to dog friendly locations for fun and socialization. He would truly be a gift to anyone searching for a loving, loyal and extremely devoted best friend.

As a part of the adoption fee Farfel's will give you a goodie box that consist of a harness, food for the first week, a bag of training treats, dental chews, poop bags, CBD treats, and many handouts to help you with your new pup! The adoption fee also helps us rescue dogs that have illnesses such as heartworm and get them back to full health to be adopted.?

With any rescue, moving from a shelter to a foster or to an adoptive home can be very confusing. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time would be perfect home for Banana. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs is a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. Given the time and space, these dogs shine.

Farfel's Rescue has found over time (we've rescued more than 3,000 dogs over 15 years of rescue) that families that attend level 1 group training classes or address individual challenges at home with one of our approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers keep their dogs for life. Dogs that do not get proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of developing behavioral problems. There is a bonding that occurs through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a dog to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a very respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's isn't willing to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to create this training relationship. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.

Banana will also be neutered prior to their transport to Colorado. This supports our work and hopes that one day dog overpopulation will become a thing of the past and therefore it will be unnecessary to euthanize a healthy dog.

Banana is arriving on transport in Boulder on 6/23/2021. 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, Rescueme 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 puppy. 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.
