My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

** If you are interested in adopting Dorothy, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **

Meet Dorothy! Dorothy was relinquished to an overcrowded, high kill shelter in Houston TX. She was relinquished by her family with another small dog and 5 puppies. They were moving and their other dog just had babies and “it was too much to handle”. Luckily for Dorothy, our Houston rescue partners scooped her up out of the shelter and now she is headed to Colorado for a fresh start, and to find a family who would never abandon her.

Dorothy is believed to be about 6 years old and she's just 15 lbs. She is a gorgeous, silly Chiweenie (Dachshund / Chihuahua).
Dorothy is dog friendly, sweet with people, and so adorable!

We don't know if Dorothy has had any formal training. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young dog 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.

Dorothy has been fully vetted, is up to date on her vaccines, 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.
