Story
If you're ready for some fun, sweet, puppy energy, Sierra is just the gal for you!
Sierra is an adorable, 6 month old, 27 lb Wheaton / Poodle mix who is ready to find a loving forever home. She is expected to be around 45-50 lbs when full grown. This sweet girl was found as a stray in Pampa, Texas. No one came looking for her, which is hard to believe given what an incredible puppy she is. Thankfully, Sierra is now in Colorado and has a bright future ahead!
Sierra is everything you’d hope for in a young pup; happy, affectionate, curious, and full of life. She greets the world (and everyone in it) with a wagging tail and is so friendly and social! Whether she’s meeting new people or making doggy friends, Sierra is a total social butterfly. She absolutely loves being around others and thrives on connection, making her a wonderful companion for a home that’s excited to include her in daily life and adventures.
At just 6 months old, Sierra is still very much a puppy, which means she’s in that fun and formative stage of learning about the world. She’s playful and energetic, always ready for a game, a walk, or a romp with other dogs. She would likely love a home with another friendly pup to play with, or an active person or family who will keep her engaged and continue her training and socialization.
Because she didn’t have a known background before being found as a stray, Sierra will benefit from continued guidance as she grows. With consistency and positive reinforcement, she has all the potential in the world to blossom into an amazing lifelong companion. She’s already shown us how smart and eager to connect she is, which will make training both rewarding and fun. (She learned how to "sit" in 1 minute!).
We feel very strongly that every dog and their family deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Sierra out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area.
We want to note that Sierra is not crate trained and does not like being locked in a crate. She will do best with an active retiree or someone younger who works from home and has the time to spend, train, and play with her.
Sierra enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs, we would prefer however, to place her in a home with older kids only (tail pulling or rough treatment by young kids will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Sierra enjoys her relationships with other dogs as well and would love playing hard and enjoying the sunshine with a canine friend on a beautiful day.
Sierra is up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed in our quest to create a euthanasia-free future in the canine population.
Sierra is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted for this beautiful, very sweet and loyal best friend. An application 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 Sierra 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 we have to determine a great match for this very deserving pup. 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.
