Meet Yuki! Yuki is a 3-year-old, 57 lb Weimaraner / Lab mix who recently made his way to Colorado after being found as a stray in Houston. This sweet boy has already shown what a loving and gentle soul he is. He is SUCH a good boy!

From Yuki's foster:
* * * *
"Yuki (or Yuki Pookie as my kids call him) is the sweetest and best snuggler you will ever meet. He is a really extremely GOOD dog!! He is so gentle and sweet with our kids, (10 & 11) and he is BEST friends with our dog. He is fully potty trained also. I mean he is the full package!!!

He will cuddle with you on the couch or bed or anywhere and make satisfied sighing noises when he snuggles in that will melt your heart. Yuki is an equal opportunity cuddler and will love snuggles and pets from all household members and more. He even slept under the covers with our kiddo the other night, with his head on the pillow!

Yuki loves to romp with other dogs and is playful and funny. He would do great in a forever home with another playful dog.

On potty training: Yuki hasn’t had a single accident! He will let you know he needs to go out with a boop or paw. He is SO good.

Yuki is still learning to walk calmly on a leash and to not bark at doggie friends, but is making quick progress given his big love of treats. He just gets excited to see friends and wants to go say hi. But he is very food motivated and very smart and learning fast to look at me for a treat instead."

Right now, Yuki is a little underweight (he’ll likely fill out closer to 60lbs) and has thinner hair from the hot Texas streets, but with proper nutrition, skin and coat supplements, and all the TLC he’s soaking up, he’s already blossoming beautifully.

Yuki is the perfect mix of fun-loving and sweet-natured—a dog who can go on adventures, make doggie friends, and then curl up at your side. He’s ready to find his forever family who will give him the love, stability, and joy he’s been waiting for.

We'd like to place Yuki 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.

Yuki is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, and is neutered.
Yuki was rescued from a shelter in Houston, Texas — an area where heartworm is unfortunately very common. He tested positive for heartworm (low positive!), but the wonderful news is that he has already begun his treatment and is about halfway through it! Farfel’s Farm & Rescue will cover the full cost of Yuki’s continued heartworm treatment at our trusted vet in Denver, ensuring he’s well on his way to being heartworm-free and ready to live a long, healthy life with his forever family.

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.
