Luca's Story
** If you are interested in adopting Luca, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Meet Luca! Luca is an adorable, 10 month old, 20 lb Jack Russell / Beagle mix (he may top out at around 25 lbs full grown, but he also could be done growing right where he is now).<br/><br/>This sweet boy was found as a stray alongside another little dog in Houston, TX and brought into a very scary, high-kill shelter. Thankfully, we were able to get both pups out just in time, and now Luca has arrived to Colorado and is in a foster home waiting to find his forever home.<br/><br/>Here is what Luca’s foster has to say about him:<br/>* * * *<br/>"Luca is such a sweet and affectionate little guy who warmed up to us almost immediately. He is definitely a shadow dog and loves being near one of us at all times. He will happily follow you from room to room and just wants to be part of whatever you are doing. He seeks out affection and has a very gentle nature, even taking treats softly from your hand.<br/><br/>He is a total snuggler and loves sitting right next to you. He has also been doing really well on leash, and goes on walks confidently and happily! <br/>He enjoys playing with toys and engaging with you during playtime, which is really fun to see.<br/><br/>Luca is very food motivated, which makes him easy to redirect and a great candidate for continued training. He is already doing great with potty training and has only had one accident in the house. He is comfortable going into his crate for meals and treats, but will need some continued positive reinforcement to build up to staying in there for longer periods.<br/>He would thrive with someone who works from home or is retired, since he is SO incredibly social and does whine when left alone. He would also really enjoy a home with another dog so even when his people leave the home, he has a friend.<br/><br/>Overall, Luca is a loving, gentle, and loyal companion who is going to make someone very happy!"<br/>* * * *<br/><br/>We would love to see Luca 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 Luca 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/>Luca 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.
