I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Jack, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Jack! Jack was found living on the streets of Houston with 2 other small dogs. They were all picked up and brought into an overcrowded high kill shelter. This shelter is known for euthanizing dogs who are there for more than 1 week, so we knew we had to get Jack (and his friends) out of there! Luckily his friends were adopted. Now Jack has made his way to Colorado and is searching for his perfect forever home.
Jack is believed to be a Chihuahua / Dachshund mix. He is 1 year old, and full grown at just 14 lbs. He is SO cute with his silly little sideways ears, and has such a great personality as well. Jack LOVES other dogs, and we would like to find him a home with another dog. He is also very friendly with people.
From Jack's foster dad:

"Jack is doing really well! He loves my dog and would do really well in a home with another doggy friend. They cuddle all the time!
He is a very polite dog and mellow. He is also house trained! He loves a good walk, but is not super active or hyper... He's pretty perfect! He seems to know his name and comes right away when I call him.
Crate - Jack will go into the crate and does well.
Sit - I have been teaching him to "sit" using treats and he seems to be getting the hang of it! He is a super fast learner.
He is also great on a leash!"
* * * *
Since Jack is still a young guy, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. He will form firm bonds with his family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement puppy kindergarten followed by force-free level 1 Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a puppy's ultimate behavior and in their relationship/bonding with their people. It does take time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior.
Jack is up to date on his shots, although he has yet to be neutered. We cover the cost of his neuter at our approved Vet Clinic. Neuter is required to be done within one month of him going home, and required to finalize any adoption.
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.
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.
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.
