Monty is a 2 year old, 9 pound Italian Greyhound / Chihuahua mix and he is a big ol' love bug!

Monty was picked up as a stray in Houston, TX and brought into a horrible high kill shelter. We knew that we had to help him, and get him out of there, and we did! Monty is now in a foster home here in Boulder.

From Monty's foster:
"Monty is so so sweet!! He is super snuggly and loves to cuddle. Him and my dog are best friends. Monty was a bit shy with him at first, but now they are besties! He loves chews and bones, but is a picky eater with his kibble. He eats if we crush a treat up over it though! He does mostly good in the car - he sits still, but he does drool haha luckily he doesn't throw up so it's not car sickness, he just drools a little during car rides.
He's amazing with kids!! My cousin has kids ages 5, 9, 11, and 13, and we hung out with them and he was so so sweet! His feet almost never touched the ground, they loved holding him and he loved it too. He loves hikes too and does really well on the trail!!
He's a super sweet lil guy!"

We'd like to place Monty in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement 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.

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