Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Hank, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Look at this sweet, stumpy legged little boy! Hank is an adorable Chiweenie (a Dachshund / Chihuahua mix). Hank is 1 and a half years old, and 10 lbs.
Hank was found in Texas, hanging out in a park. He walked right up to the women who found him, and happily strolled with her to the shelter. Hank was put on a stray hold to see if anyone would come to reclaim him, and no one ever did!
Hank booked his ticket to Colorado from there to find his perfect forever home.
Hank aced his temperment testing, and is a very friendly little boy with both dogs and people.
We'd like to place Hank in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. 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.
Hank has been fully vetted, is in great health, and up to date on his vaccines. He was not able to be neutered prior to his transport to Colorado, and since the transport can be stressful we are wanting to give him time to settle in before neutering. Neuter is required to be done within one month of Hank's adoption date, and required to finalize any adoption. We do cover the full cost of his neuter.
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.
