Poncho

** If you are interested in adopting Poncho please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Meet Poncho! Poncho is an adorable, 1 year old, 14lb Chihuahua / Pug mix with the cutest squishy little pug face (and tail!) and a personality that absolutely lights up the room. This goofy, happy little guy came to Colorado from a high-kill shelter in rural Texas, where he quickly became a staff favorite and completely stole everyones hearts.<br/><br/>Poncho is incredibly friendly, social, and full of personality. He has that hilarious, clownish charm that makes Pug mixes so lovable, combined with the affectionate, loyal nature of a Chihuahua. He's the kind of dog who keeps you smiling all day long with his silly expressions, funny little noises, zoomies, and playful antics. Poncho loves being involved in whatever his people are doing and has a naturally happy-go-lucky attitude that is impossible not to adore.<br/><br/>From Poncho's foster:<br/>"This little boy is SO funny!!!! He is totally potty trained!! He spends the night in his crate quietly, but LOVES to cuddle and would love to sleep in bed with his person if they let him.<br/>On walks he is very eager to say hello to all new people. He is so social and SO friendly!!! He's a really good boy. He truly knows no stranger. He greets every new person like they're his long lost friend and he is SO excited to see them again, haha!<br/>He is adventurous and will try to slip out the front door and adventure, so be cautious opening the front door with him around!"<br/><br/>Poncho is a social guy who does enjoy the company of other dogs. During his time at the shelter, he was even kenneled with a dog he had never met before because he was so friendly and easygoing with other dogs.<br/>Like many young, enthusiastic dogs, Poncho can get overly excited when he spots other dogs while out on walks. His excitement currently comes out as barking when he sees another dog on walks. Off leash, he is quiet and loves other dogs and loves to play.<br/>Poncho is very food motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement training. When his foster is walking him, if he starts barking at another dog she will get his attention with a high value treat.<br/><br/>We'd like to place Poncho 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/>Poncho 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.
