Meet Charlie! Charlie is a super sweet, 6 year old, 19 lb Dachshund/Beagle mix with the sweetest soul. Charlie found himself in the shelter through no fault of his own after his beloved owner sadly passed away. Despite this major life change, Charlie has remained incredibly loving, calm, and friendly. At the shelter, he was gently handled by children ages 10–12 and was wonderfully calm and patient with them. Charlie was also surrendered with another small dog whom he was living with, so we know that he lives well with other dogs. This dog

From Charlie's foster:
"Charlie is such a sweet guy, and it's clear he's lived in a home before. He is potty trained and a very polite house guest. He is mellow but still has pep in his step and wags his tail a whole lot!"

Charlie is an easygoing, affectionate guy who would love nothing more than to be near his people and enjoy a cozy, predictable routine. With his sweet nature and gentle heart, Charlie will make a loyal, loving companion in his next forever home.

Charlie is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.
One of Charlie’s ears has a tiny congenital deformity that our vet believes he was born with — it doesn’t bother him, cause pain, or affect his hearing in any way. But it does give him the most charming look: one ear stands up proudly while the other flops over, giving him a permanently curious, heart-melting expression. It’s just one more thing that makes Charlie uniquely adorable and completely unforgettable.

Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Charlie 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 Charlie 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.
