Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Penny, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Penny! Penny is 2 years old and just 12 lbs. She is believed to be a Havanese / Westie mix.
Penny was found as a stray in Arkansas, and led her finder to a bush where she was housing her 5 gorgeous puppies. All 6 of these precious babies were brought into a shelter and Farfel’s Rescue received a plea to save this sweet family. They were all placed in a foster home, and booked their tickets to Colorado, ready for a fresh start.
Penny has a great temperament, and loves people and other dogs. She’s been a great mom to her babies, but she’s ready to leave mom life behind and find a home where she is the one being cared for!
Penny is just gorgeous! She has a stunning coat of white and a tint of orange. You just want to pet her and tell her how beautiful she is! Her coat is currently shelter-sad and could be much more soft and shiney with commitment to periodic baths/brushing and excellent nutrition.
5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are recommended for excellent general health and to keep her coat silky-soft and very healthy.
Most of the time these rescue dogs have not had any training. Unfortunately we do not know Penny’s background, as she was found as a stray.
A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young girl whose self-esteem will fly high while she masters her 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.
Our training requirement is to help every adoption be successful.
Penny is up to date on her vaccines, heartworm tested (negative) and spayed.
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.
If you are interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ .
**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.
