My story

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

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

Scooter is a charming 6-year-old, 7-pound Yorkie (looks purebred although we do not DNA test) who is ready to find a loving forever home. He and his tiny sister found themselves in need after their owner sadly passed away. With no local family to care for them, they were taken in as a police impound and eventually surrendered for adoption.

Scooter is a true little gentleman—sweet, affectionate, and looking for companionship. While he’s been through a lot of change, he’s still a happy, resilient guy who just wants a cozy lap to curl up in. He and his sister are so sweet but don't appear too attached, per the Texas shelter. So while they don’t need to be adopted together, we’d love to see them both find homes where they’ll be cherished.

If you’re looking for a small, loyal friend with a big heart, Scooter might be the perfect pup for you!

Like most Yorkies, Scooter has a beautiful, silky coat that will benefit from regular grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best. His petite size and loyal demeanor make him perfect for cozy moments and exciting adventures alike.

With any rescue dog, moving from a shelter to a foster to an adoptive home can be very confusing. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time would be perfect home for Scooter. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs is a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. Given the time and space, these dogs shine.

Scooter is up to date on his vaccines, heartworm negative, and neutered.

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.

**PLEASE NOTE**. If you're truly interested in adopting Alfie please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue!
