Toby Chihuahua Mix Boulder, CO

** If you are interested in adopting Toby, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **

Toby is an adorable, tiny Chihuahua. He was found in New Mexico walking along a railroad track with another small dog. They were both picked up by a stranger who took him home.

After about a week with them, she reached out to our rescue partner about finding them each new homes. She said “Toby is so sweet and wants to be loved so bad, and I keep trying but I just can’t.” … ouch! Poor little Toby. We agreed right away to help him find a home with someone that will be able to love him and give him all the love that he deserves!

At just 1 year old and 7 lbs, Toby has great energy and is super friendly with all people, other dogs he has met, and even cats!

Despite all of the recent changes in his life, Toby remains happy and social! He’s an affectionate and friendly boy who gets along well with everyone. He’s small but mighty in personality, always ready for a play session or a snuggle on the couch.

We'd like to place Toby 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 for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. 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.

Toby has been fully vetted, is up to date on his vaccines, and in great health. He is not yet neutered, however Farfel’s Rescue will cover the full cost of his neuter once he arrives to Colorado.

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.

**PLEASE NOTE** Farfel's Rescue makes huge efforts to place our dogs with families that are excellent matches. We do this through our application found on farfels.com or at the link provided above (never through rescue site apps such as RescueMe, Petfinder or Adoptapet as they don't provide enough information) If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out the Farfel's Rescue adoption application.. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving puppy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
