Monty's Story
** If you are interested in adopting Monty, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Monty is a 2 year old, 9 pound Chihuahua / Italian Greyhound mix and he is a big ol' love bug! <br/><br/>Monty was picked up as a stray in Houston, TX and brought into a horrible high kill shelter. His shelter notes said: "Monty is a tad shy (probably just because the shelter is scary) but he is SO very sweet. He warms up quickly and will begin wagging his tail, running around and jumping up gently for some affection. He is a total lover and he needs OUT of this shelter!!"<br/>We knew that we had to help him, and get him out of there! <br/><br/>From Monty's foster:<br/>"Monty is so so sweet!! He is super snuggly and loves to cuddle. Him and my dog are becoming friends - Monty was a lil shy at first! He loves chews and bones, but isn't a big kibble fan - you have to spruce it up with water or a crushed up treat over his food. He does okay in the car - he sits still, but he drools haha luckily he doesn't throw up, just drools during car rides. He's a super sweet lil guy!"<br/><br/>We'd like to place Monty 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/>Monty 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.
