Pluto is an adorable 3-year-old, 15 lb Shih Tzu with a heart as big as his round, soulful eyes. This little guy is everything you’d want in a best friend...sweet, friendly, and always up for a cuddle.

Pluto was rescued from a shelter in Arkansas, where he quickly won everyone over with his friendly personality and happy tail wags. He was relinquished to the shelter because his owner lost their job and could not afford to care for him anymore. Pluto is great with other dogs and loves making new furry friends. Whether it’s a romp in the yard or a cozy nap pile on the couch, Pluto is happy just to be part of the fun.

True to his Shih Tzu nature, he’s affectionate and loyal, but also easygoing and content to hang out by your side. We think Pluto would thrive in just about any loving home, whether it’s with another pup to play with or as the center of attention in a quieter household.

Pluto is making his way to Colorado soon, ready to start the next, best chapter of his life. If you’re looking for a loving, low-key companion with a heart of gold, Pluto might be your perfect match.

Pluto is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.

Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Pluto 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.

We'd like to place Pluto 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.

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.

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.

**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.
