About Forrest-PENDING!

When our compassionate New Mexico rescuer got a phone call about a Wheaten Terrier mix that was living in inhumane conditions and needed rescue, she went out to investigate. What she found was a gorgeous dog that appeared to have the ability to rise above his circumstances. He approached his savior with a hopeful smile that some petting and kindness were going to follow. He accepted treats and a long belly rub with gratitude...his kind eyes (with so much wisdom) seemed to search our rescuer's face...could she be the help that he has needed for so long? After a quick signature from an uncaring family, Forrest hopped into the car without ever looking back. Farfel's Rescue immediately got a call from our rescuer describing how incredibly cute and sweet this Wheaten Terrier mix is..and the need to find him a special forever family that would love and respect him. We immediately agreed and Forrest became a very treasured Farfel's dog. He earned a ticket to a wonderful new life in Colorado with his great temperament. At just about 18 - 24 months old and 25 lbs (please note that these are approximations, there will be an update after vetting on final estimate of age/weight), this very beautiful pup is a blank slate waiting for positive input and guidance to be the best dog he's capable of being. We'd love to match Forrest to a family that will spend lots of time with this wonderful companion. He's a perfect size to accompany his family just about anywhere..a long hike through the mountains or a car ride to an outdoor adventure would speak to the nature of this wonderful dog. Positive reinforcement group obedience class will not only provide socialization and obedience skills...but will cement the relationship between Forrest and his family. He's so smart that he's a natural to succeed in learning his skills...and would be so excited at his success! Farfel's is happy to provide a list of force-free trainers in your area. When Forrest turns that gentle look in your direction (with those amazing dark and expressive eyes), you can't help but smile at his adorable ways. You can see a bit of a sign that this young guy has had difficult times. But not for him to be negative..a smile and a wag is more Forrest 's style once he's acclimated to his new environment. It's clear that he is working hard on leaving any pain behind. Farfel's Rescue is searching for an adult or retired family for Forrest. It's not that he actively doesn't like young kids..it just appears that Forrest is more comfortable around quieter energy. Retirees or a person working at home would be perfect for this guy. He would thrive on the time and attention that these groups often put into their pets. Forrest , once bonded, will be a loyal and very loving companion....that makes him very easy to spend time with just enjoying the wonders of life in Colorado. Forrest would also enjoy time with dogs of similar size who can be gentle playmates. When you're a smaller dog, you can be intimidated by larger, rambunctious playmates. Forrest is a very happy guy once he's comfortable...a bit of patience, treats and belly rubs will truly get this guy's attention as he's had far too little of all in his life. Forrest 's foster mom is very happy to report that Forrest is coming out of his shell more each day...he's blossoming. She's very clear that Forrest will be a wonderful and bonded family member when he has love and nurturing as a part of his life. Forrest won't be neutered when he arrives in Denver - while we request it, there just aren't enough vets to cover the needs of the vast number of homeless dogs in this industrial area of New Mexico. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Forrest's neuter and microchip after his arrival in Denver if our local vet is used. Forrest has the softest, non-shedding (or very lightly shedding coat..we'll know for certain after he gets a sudsy bath) that you just want to pet all the time. He will therefore require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition (a supplement of salmon oil would be great) to keep his coat cottony-soft and matt-free. Forrest is arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 4/14/18. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet pup. If interested in this adorable ...and very cuddly and loving best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. PLEASE NOTE: If you're truly interested in adopting Forrest, please be sure to submit our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most circumstances, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks so much for choosing rescue.
