Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***If you are interested in adoption Isabella, the FIRST STEP is to fill out an application here: https://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ***
Not only does Isabella have the most gorgeous eyes and unique looks, but she also has the sweetest personality ever. Once she knows that she can trust you, she is a super loving, super social girl!
Isabella was found in Texas, padlocked to a tree. When she was first rescued and brought into a shelter, she was very nervous -- understandably! She does however, warm up very fast. She loves getting cuddles and pets from everyone that she meets.
Her foster did let us know that she took about a week to fully come out of her shell and feel safe and comfortable. This is very normal, and the case with most rescue dogs.
Isabella is 1 year old and 42 lbs. She is likely a Husky/Cattle Dog mix, according to the NM vets. With almost any rescue though, breed is just an educated guess, and she likely has many different breeds in her.
With any rescue, moving from a shelter to a foster 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 Isabella. 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.
Isabella is up to date on her vaccines, but has not yet been spayed. Farfel's Rescue covers the full cost of her spay, and spay is required to finalize any adoption.
We are currently accepting applications for Isabella. 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.
