About Franklin-PENDING!

Franklin would be a perfect companion for anyone who is searching for a very sweet and loving lap dog that can accompany his family everywhere a great little dog is allowed. He's also social and would be thrilled with neighborhood walks..stopping periodically to talk with dog-loving neighbors. At just about 3.5 years old and 10 lbs, Franklin is so portable that he can be a full-time best friend..not only the world's greatest lap dog but a guy who would love car rides to fun places...mountain trails, parks and playing with his people and other like-sized dogs would be high on Franklin's list. It's always amazing to us at Farfel's Rescue that these dogs with great temperaments...as well as very sweet and loving...end up in precarious situations. It just doesn't get much cuter than Franklin's scruffy Poodle face with the dark eyes that touch your soul. They're filled with so much wisdom and a bit of pain...you just want to hold this guy tight and let him know that life is going to be amazing from this moment on! Frankie was a last-minute save for us...he would have been euthanized in a dismal New Mexico shelter due to lack of space if a kind and compassionate rescuer hadn't stepped up. But how could they not have? This little dog is just so awesome with his whole life lying in front of him...a life in which he can bring so much joy to a special family. Frankie, as a young guy, is a blank slate waiting to learn about the world. With clear guidance and positive reinforcement group obedience classes (Farfel's is happy to provide a list of force-free trainers in your area), Franklin will learn great behavior and be a loyal and bonded companion. He is an all-time snuggler and will cuddle his way into any heart! Franklin's may be frightened initially at transport since rehoming is always scary ..but with love and nurturing, he will absolutely shine We envision Franklin with an active, dog-loving retired couple or individual...he would be overjoyed with the time he could spend in their company. It's not that Franklin is a needy guy...not at all...he just enjoys the company of his humans who love him like crazy for all his wonderful traits. Franklin likes older, dog-crazy children and enjoys playing with them. We would only be open to older kids who can be gentle and understanding that Franklin is a small guy and needs soft and gentle handling. For those family members who enjoy walks and time outside in the beautiful Colorado scenery, Dusty would love nothing more than to share the experience. He is always up for a walk together (still working on his leash skills and doing well), fascinated by the activity around him. He breathes in the air, so happy to be free of the dismal shelter environment. Then, maybe his favorite part...it's time to end the day with treats, belly rubs and a warm spot on the bed beside his favorite people. Franklin appears to be a non-shedding guy and will therefore require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition to keep his coat cottony-soft, healthy and matt-free. Franklin will be arriving in Denver unfixed due to far too many dogs and not enough vets in this very poor area of New Mexico. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Franklin's neuter and microchip if our Denver vet is used. Franklin will be arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 1/13/18.
