Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ryan is a cute as can be 1 year old, 13 lb Chihuahua who is just waiting to be the love of someone's life.
Ryan is appropriately playful and inquisitive for his young age. He's also so loving and cuddly once he's comfortable in his environment. This snuggly little guy would be very excited to be a couch potato and snuggle with his favorite people at the end of an active day.
Ryan was found as a stray in Pampa TX and brought into a small shelter where he was never reclaimed. From there, he made his way to Colorado for a fresh start.
From Ryan's foster:
"Ryan is SOOOO sweet! Such a cuddle bug and very friendly with other dogs and new people. He does need to be fed his breakfast and dinner seperate from my dog, but otherwise they are best friends and cuddle and play together every day!
Zero reaction to the cats!! He even cuddles with the cat! He could literally care less about them."
Since Ryan is just 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. Ryan will form strong 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 young dog's ultimate behavior and in his relationship/bonding with his 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.
Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal virtual or in-person positive reinforcement/force-free training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Ryan out to a home that doesn't choose to offer him this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement/force-free trainers in your area.
We're open to Ryan finding his forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart puppy. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a great choice for a puppy that would love nothing more than getting loved up periodically throughout the day. Ryan enjoys his relationships with all humans and dogs...we would prefer, however, to place him in a home with older kids (tail pulling or rough treatment will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development.
Ryan is available for adoption now! He is up to date on his vetting/vaccinations and will be neutered before his adoption is official. This will be done at no cost to his adopter if done with our rescue's vet.
Applications are currently being accepted for this adorable and sweet as can be pup who is learning about love and acceptance in his life. An adoption application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Frodo, 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 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.
