Astro's Story

** If you are interested in adopting Astro please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Meet Astro! Astro is a striking 2-year-old, 18-pound Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix with long, elegant legs built for adventure and a sweet, affectionate personality that makes him the perfect cuddle buddy at the end of the day.<br/><br/>Astro's journey hasn't been an easy one. He was found alone on the side of a road in New Mexico, abandoned to fend for himself through no fault of his own. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stopped to help and brought him to safety. The shelter that took him in was overflowing and didn't even have an available kennel, but they knew this special little guy deserved a second chance. When they reached out to us, we couldn't say no. While Astro's world may feel a little upside down right now, we know his brightest days are still ahead of him.<br/><br/>Astro is looking for a family that will cherish him as a true member of the household and give him the love, security, and companionship he deserves. Whether he's joining you on a scenic Colorado hike, exploring the neighborhood on daily walks, playing with a canine friend, or curling up beside you for an evening on the couch, Astro is ready to fill his future home with love, loyalty, and endless companionship.<br/><br/>We'd like to place Astro in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement 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.<br/><br/>Astro is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out 400 dogs each year.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>**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.
