Baja

My story

** If you are interested in adopting Baja, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Baja is a sweet, short legged, long bodied, little guy. He is believed to be a Dachshund / Jack Russell mix. Baja is 1 year old and 20 lbs. Baja was found as a stray in Arkansas and now is cozy in a foster home in Boulder, getting ready to start his new life. While he was picked up as a stray, his foster thinks he's had a home at some point. From Baja's foster: * * * * "Baja is such a good boy! We have had lots of people over in the time he has been here and he has been friendly to everyone. (Teenagers included!) He does well on leash and enjoys going for walks. He gets along great with our dog Henry and briefly met my sister's dog and he was very friendly to him as well. He seems totally unfazed by my chickens. I think he would be okay with cats like the Arkansas foster said. He whines a little when he sees my cat and seems a tad nervous but curious about them. He doesn't seem aggressive, just curious. He is just a really nice, mellow dog. Hasn't barked much. He does pick things up like shoes and moves them around. I don't think he has chewed on any of them but I trade him for a dog toy and he likes to carry those around too. Seems like he is potty trained, but we have also been hanging outside frequently. He has been sleeping great in our bedroom near our bed in a puppy pen. He loves to give kisses and likes pets, but isn't demanding about getting attention. He's a good one!" * * * * We don’t know if Baja has had any formal training, but a (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class will help him build confidence, bond with his new family, and master good manners. Training is essential for a successful adoption, and Farfel’s is happy to provide a list of recommended force-free trainers to set him up for success. Baja has been fully vetted, is up to date on vaccines, and neutered. 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. Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year.
