Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Waffles story is all too common in his close call to being homeless in Arkansas....but who could ignore his cuteness, adorable manner and desire to bond with anyone who could potentially be his best friend? This beautiful guy was picked up as a stray in Arkansas and ended up with one of our Arkansas rescue partners...they couldn't bear the thought that Waffles would end up in a high-kill shelter scheduled for euthanasia due to lack of space.
At 8 months old and a tiny 10 lbs (anticipated to be approximately 13 lbs when full-grown), Waffles is a perfect size for hiking the Colorado mountains, neighborhood walks (he's a very social guy) and backyard fun with his family..and then at day's end, this loving pup would enjoy nothing more than a warm lap or a spot on the couch or bed next to his favorite people. Waffles enjoys his relationships with other dogs as well and would have so much fun with another playful and gentle canine best friend.
From Waffles' foster:

"Waffles is SO FUN! He seems to be potty trained. He stands by the door with a very insistent face asking to go out and and has not peed in the house yet, so that’s great.
He’s a really big cuddler at night, so he would love to sleep in the bed. During the day he’ll sleep in a medium size crate because he acts like it’s a little house and brings all his toys there. I haven’t yet crated him when I leave.
He seems to love every dog he meets, and absolutely LOVES my dog.
He is quite active right now and thrives off of attention, but it doesn’t have to be human attention. If you have a dog who will play with him he will ignore you for hours.
He’s not amazing on leash, but that’s because he’s so exuberant and finds everything he sees very exciting since it’s new. If I put him on a leash in my garden, he is way more calm.
Overall he is a really great, really really friendly and social dog!!!"

Waffles would do well with anyone who's invested in spending time with their pup. He will be a committed and loving best friend..and would be overjoyed with the opportunity to come along and be part of the fun. This little guy is so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a visit with friends, a car ride, a vacation or just an afternoon spending time together plopped down on the couch. All of this would speak to Waffles sweet temperament and love for his people.
Farfel's isn't open to an adoption where family members spend their days working full-time outside of the home. We'd like Waffles to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle. Those who work from a home-based office would be a perfect choice for this friendly and engaging pup.
Waffles will be up to date on his vetting/vaccinations to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered in support of a euthanasia - free future in the canine population.
Waffles is available for adoption now. Applications are currently being accepted for this very loving and sweet companion dog / best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out our application completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Waffles please be sure to fill out the Farfel's adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving little dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit a Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
