Meet Cotton! This sweet Dachshund mix couldn't be more beautiful if she tried! At just about 2 years old and 15 lbs, Cotton is the perfect size. She is believed to be a Dachshund / Beagle mix, though we do not DNA test rescue dogs so this is just an educated guess by the vets. She certainly no question is a Dachshund mix - the weenie dog look is very present in this cutie!!

We rescued Cotton from a small Arkansas shelter, where she had just had 7 puppies who all were sent to another local rescue. Cotton was left at the shelter waiting for her turn, and we knew we had to take her!

Cotton is very friendly, and great with other dogs. Her foster had the following to say about her:

"Cotton is SO incredibly sweet! She LOVES meeting new people, and loves my (male!) roommate! I could tell she was a little confused when she first came home with me, but she was still so so so friendly and sweet. She loves to cuddle, and sleeps in bed with me."

Cotton will do well with any loving person who's invested in spending time with their dog. She's so pleasant and portable that she can be a part of any adventure. It can be a leisurely walk, a picnic in the park or a visit with family or friends. A car ride is also always great, especially if it leads to a fun, dog-loving spot. At day's end, a spot on or beside the bed all night will speak to the loving nature of this little dog.

Current research is very clear that the best diet we can provide for our pets is a fresh, human grade diet. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) due to our personal experience with our own dogs. It's one of the most important choices we make for our dogs great health and longevity.

Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement/force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Cotton out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual and in-person trainers in your area.

Cotton is up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to support our hopes for zero future growth in the canine population.
Coming from the south, Cotton does have heartworm. However, we have already started her treatment and will cover the full cost to finish her treatment to make sure she is heartworm-free! Heartworm is very common in the southern states, and not contagious in any way. It is fully treatable, and she has already started her treatment.

Cotton is available for adoption now! Adoption applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and cuddly best friend. An app can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Cotton, 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, Rescueme 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 most 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.
