Meet Jake & Finn! Jake and Finn are an adorable bonded pair of Chihuahua mixes who are searching for a loving forever home, together.
Jake is the brown one, and he is 3 years old and 15 lbs. Finn is the Gray one, and he is 3 years old and 7 lbs.

These sweet boys have been through more than any dog ever should. Their lives were turned upside down when their home tragically burned down. Thankfully, both Jake and Finn made it out safely, but their family, having lost everything, heartbreakingly had to relinquish them to a shelter in New Mexico. When they arrived, they still smelled strongly of smoke… a lingering reminder of just how scary and traumatic that experience must have been. Poor, sweet boys.

At first, the shelter didn’t realize just how bonded Jake and Finn are, and they were separated. Both dogs completely shut down...trembling day and night, confused and heartbroken. The moment staff recognized the bond and reunited them, everything changed. They lit up. Tails wagging, bodies relaxed, personalities shining through, social butterflies! They were themselves again. It was clear to everyone: these two need each other.

Jake and Finn have lived together their entire lives, and their connection is incredibly special. They bring each other comfort, confidence, and joy. In their foster home, they continue to thrive side by side. They’re happy, friendly, and social little guys.

Jake and Peanut are currently in a foster home with other dogs and cats and they both do great with them all. They are also potty trained, which makes the transition into their forever home that much easier!

Adopting a bonded pair is often easier than adopting one! Jake and Finn keep each other company, help ease transitions, and provide built-in companionship, which can mean less anxiety, less loneliness, and a smoother adjustment into a new home. They play together, cuddle together, and truly make a little team—you’re not just adopting two dogs, you’re welcoming a ready-made family.

Jake and Finn are looking for a kind, loving home that will cherish them both and keep them together forever. After everything they’ve endured, they deserve nothing less than safety, stability, and love for the rest of their lives.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this incredible duo, Jake and Finn will repay you with double the love, double the snuggles, and double the joy.

Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see these boys in a home with someone who works from home or is retired. We'd hate to see them left alone all day while their family works full-time outside of the home, as they are much too social for that type of arrangement.

We'd like to place Finn and Jake in a home where they'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.

Jake and Finn are both up to date on their vaccinations, have been fully vetted, are both in great health, heartworm negative, 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.

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.
