Story
** If you are interested in adopting Freddie, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Freddie! Freddie is an adorable, 2 year old, 24lb Pug / French Bulldog mix (we don’t DNA test our rescue dogs, this breed guess is simply based on our vets’ best assessment of his appearance).
Freddie was found as a stray in New Mexico alongside another dog who looked very similar to him. No one ever came looking for them. He has a few scars on his legs and head, quiet reminders that his life before rescue may not have always been kind. While we don’t know his full story, we do know that whatever he’s been through hasn’t dimmed his sweet spirit one bit. Freddie is goofy and friendly and gets along great with new people he meets, as well as all other dogs.
Freddie is affectionate and friendly. Despite his rough start, he is trusting and gentle, and he seems genuinely grateful for kindness.
He does well with other dogs and would enjoy a home with another canine companion, especially one who appreciates playful energy balanced with cuddle time. Freddie has a sturdy little build at 24 pounds — small enough to be portable, but solid enough for adventures. He would make a wonderful walking buddy and is equally content curling up on the couch at the end of the day.
Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Freddie in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.
We'd like to place Freddie in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. 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.
Freddie is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is 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.
Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, 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.
