Story
Blossom''s engaging and sweet nature is just waiting to be enjoyed and appreciated. She is such a wonderful being...we think she represents the best qualities of both the Shih Tzu and Poodle breeds. We realize that Blossom's only photo is awful. We've requested a clearer photo that will show the beauty of this little dog and will update upon our receipt of it. At just about 18 months old and a tiny 13 lbs,, Blossom is the perfect size for neighborhood strolls, walks in the gorgeous Colorado mountains, car rides to dog-friendly destinations and fun backyard play..all would speak to Blossom's love of coming along and being with her family having fun. Blossom would love nothing more than to spend a day of play and walks followed by crashing on the couch for belly rubs and snuggles all night long. Blossom is a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please. The happier her family is with her behavior, the more she shines with her accomplishments. We would love to see Blossom in a home that includes her in family time and activities. She's very social and engaging (once comfortable in her environment) and would thrive in a family that truly loves her and considers her a very important family member. Blossom would be a wonderful companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with an adorable Shih Tzu / Poodle mix. Blossom's basic nature is to be a very happy girl who represents the joyful attitude of both the Shih Tzu and Poodle breeds. While she might be initially shy or frightened (rehoming is often scary), some kind words, a loving hug and a yummy treat and Blossom falls deeply in love. Blossom doesn't require another dog to be happy. She loves her people dearly and if they're attentive and loving, this sweet and loyal girl will be fulfilled and very content. If a gentle dog is already part of a family, that's great with Blossom as well. She enjoys her time spent in the company of a gentle canine and that dog will become Blossom's best friend. Blossom will do well with any loving guardian who's invested in spending time with their pup. She's so pleasant and portable that she can be a part of any adventure. It can be a leisurely walk socializing with neighbors, a picnic in the park or a visit with family or friends. A car ride is also always great especially if it leads to a fun, dog-loving destination. At day's end, a spot on the bed all night beside her favorite humans will speak to the loving nature of this little dog. Blossom's New Mexico rescuer had the following to say about our sweet girl: Miss Blossom is a one of a kind special girl. She is so full of sweet energy and is as happy as can be once she's comfortable in her environment. Miss B has had some difficult changes in her life and now that she's with us, she's finally understanding that she's a very wonderful being. I can see her self-esteem growing stronger each day. It's truly a joy to observe! Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Blossom out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual and in-person trainers in your area. Blossom will be up to date on her vetting and vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed in support of a future where canine euthanasia due to lack of shelter space is a practice of the past. Blossom will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 1/25/2025. Adoption applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and cuddly best friend. An app 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 Blossom, 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 most 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.

Story
Halo is a 4 year old, 20lb Shih Tzu.  Halo was surrendered from his owners becayse she had a lot of dogs and wanted to downsize.  Halo is the cutest little boy who is missing half his jaw, so his little tongue hangs out of his mouth all the time - it might be the cutest thing ever! Halo needs an owner who is looking for a dog with a biiig, sassy personality.  Halo loves to snuggle and hang out with his foster Momma.  He gets along with other dogs and is great on a leash.  He is pretty well trained and listens well.  Halo is also a pretty stubborn little man.  If you are doing something he doesn't like (like giving him medicine or cleaning his years) he will let you know!  For some people this big personality is hilarous and they adore everything about him, but for others his big personality it a little too much.  This is the same with dogs for Halo.  He gets along great with other dogs, but if another dog steps on him, or tried to play with him when he isn't into it, he lets his annoyance known, so another easy going dog who isn't all over him all the time, or have a super dominant, snappy personality would be best for this little man.  Halo is sooo good and sooo deserving of the best forever family.   If you are interested in adopting little Halo, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2234207##

Jimmy is 11 pounds of sweetness and spunk. We believe he is a Shih Tzu and about 3 years old.  He loves running around the yard with his foster dog siblings, and being cuddled by his foster human. Jimmy is mostly potty trained but will need a little work and patience in his forever home in a new environment.  He loves to play with tiny balls and chew toys. He is a great little boy and just needs a forever family of his own for the holidays!  We have learned that Jimmy is a little more nervous around men than women, and will need a little extra time to warm up.  We do believe he can be adopted into a home with males as long as they are patient, or a female only home.  He does great with ALL dogs and all women is seems :) Jimmy will need a family who can get him groomed every 6-8 weeks to keep him looking handsome and clean.   If you are interested in adopting Jimmy, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2249011##

Story
This affectionate lil pooch is an approximately 12 yr old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, around 20 lbs. He is a sweet dog who loves cuddles, car rides, and just spending time with his person(s). When out on the town, he happily walks by your side and is happy to sit next to you with a huge smile. He seems to have gone deaf in his senior years, has partial vision loss, and has very few teeth left. However, he gets around great and has lots of love to give you. He has been returned twice with no fault of his own. This little pal does great on a leash and is house trained. As an older guy, Bruno needs a special adopter who can give him lots of love, a consistent routine, and manage his health in his later years. He may tolerate sharing his people with cats, but would do best without other dogs. He is located in Denver and waiting for a home to retire in.
