Bear

** If you are interested in adopting Bear, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Meet Bear! Bear is a sweet, adorable, 5 year old, 14 lb Chihuahua / Corgi mix.<br/><br/>Bear’s story is one that is so sad… he just lost the only home he has ever known. Bear was literally born into his previous home in Arkansas after his family took in a stray pregnant dog, and Bear was one of her puppies. He spent his literal entire life until this point there — from the day he was born until now. Sadly, when his owner was moved into assisted living, Bear had to be relinquished. He stayed briefly with a family member before making the journey to Colorado, and now he safe and happy in a foster home. <br/><br/>As you can imagine, this has been a huge transition for him. His previous family described him as incredibly happy, social, and friendly, and he is. However with all the change in his life right now, he started out understandably confused! <br/>This little guy has been through so much, and our hearts just ache for the loss he’s experienced. But we can see how resilient he is. <br/><br/>The following is from Bear's foster:<br/>* * * *<br/>"Bear is SO sweet. Oh my gosh is he sweet! He came home with me the day he arrived on transport from Arkansas so he was a tad shy for maybe 2 days but mostly I could tell he was just like "what the heck is going on!?". I feel so bad knowing his background and how confused he must be with it all. But he is SUCH a good dog and warmed up so fast!!<br/><br/>Within literally just a few days he completely settled into the house and learned our routine! He is really good. He's great with all of my dogs, and even met my potbelly pig and didn't even blink an eye. He is mellow and sweet and loves to cuddle and be in my lap when I sit down. <br/><br/>He is super mellow and so easy!<br/><br/>He sleeps in the bedroom with us, and we try to get him to sleep in bed but he prefers to sleep in the dog bed on the floor. (We can get him to come cuddle for a little bit but he always moves himself down to the dog bed haha)<br/><br/>He is fully potty trained and has never has a single accident or even tried to mark in my house! <br/><br/>He comes to work with me and is so friendly - he meets new dogs and strangers with a wagging tail and he gently takes treats from customers all day! <br/><br/>He stays in a crate whenever we leave the home, and I give him a Kong or Woof (treat toys) in the crate with him when we leave. I'm sure he could stay loose though. He would absolutely thrive with someone retired, as he would SO love to just have a mellow, snunggly life! <br/><br/>Bear is a 10/10 dog - not a single complaint!! He is so sweet. Just give him 2-3 days to fully warm up and you'll see how perfect he is!!"<br/>* * * *<br/><br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue and our Arkansas rescue partners would love to see Bear 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.<br/><br/>We'd like to place Bear 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.<br/><br/>Bear 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.
