Mikey

** If you are interested in adopting Mikey, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** If you're searching for the most loving, silly best friend, Mikey is the pup you want to have around! Mikey is an adorable little Pug / Boston Terrier mix. He is 1 year old, and just 13 lbs. Mikey was found walking down a street in Carlsbad, NM and brought into a small shelter as a stray. Now Mikey has a ticket to Colorado to come start fresh! From Mikey's foster: "Mikey is the sweetest little thing!! He's gotten so much more confidence since arriving to Colorado. He was unsure at first, but now he is so happy, playful, snuggly, and walks well on a leash! He is very food motivated, and he's just so cute that I can't help smother him with kisses every day." Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Mikey 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 Mikey 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 for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. 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. Mikey has been fully vetted, and he is in great health, up to date on his shots, 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.
