About Violet-PENDING!

There's nothing quite like puppy energy and silliness...and then they lie quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm baby breath. They're so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think of them in a high-kill shelter! Violet, at only 9 weeks old and 3 lbs (estimated to be full grown at approximately 15 - 18 lbs), was facing the end of her life before it ever began. Farfel's Texas rescuers are compassionate and loving and couldn't turn their back on this beautiful puppy...they rescued Violet, her siblings and their mom just in time. This sweet and engaging Cocker Spaniel/Cavalier mix (mom is a purebred Cocker and vets/rescuers felt the dad is a Cavalier King Charles mix) is starting out with great energy...the excellent results of her temperament-testing ended with a transport ticket to Colorado and a new life with every possibility. Violet is incredibly beautiful...from her gorgeous golden coat to her adorable puppy face...a cutie-pie in every way. We're told that these photos in no way do this beautiful puppy justice. We'll update the moment we receive new photos from Violet's Texas foster mom. Since Violet is just a baby, she's a blank slate waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome companion - she will form firm bonds with her family (as well as other dogs and humans) and learn positive socialization skills through puppy socialization class followed by positive reinforcement group obedience classes. It does take time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with friendly and engaging behavior. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of force-free trainers in your area. Violet is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age...learning about the world in that very cute way that healthy, well-adjusted puppies do. She will blossom with a family that includes her in many aspects of their lives. The more that Violet is taken along and included in dog-friendly activities with friends and their dogs, the better behaved, more socialized.. and more excited she will be. Hiking the mountain trails will be perfect for Violet as she matures..and will provide opportunities to become more social and comfortable with other dogs and their people. We're open to Violet finding her forever home with very active retirees with lots of energy to train and enjoy a young puppy. She would also be great with a younger family that works part time or out of the home. As a puppy, Violet is great with children of all ages. We would like to place Violet only with children with impulse control as tail pulling or awkward handling will lead Violet to be cautious with kids later on in her life. Violet will be up to date on her vetting. We're hoping that she will be spayed when she arrives from New Mexico, however a young puppy like Violet is often deemed too young to fix. If this is the case, Farfel's will be happy to cover all costs for Violet to be spayed/microchipped at our vet in Denver to be in line with our commitment to be a part of the solution to pet overpopulation. Violet is arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 5/11/18. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet puppy. 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 Violet, 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.
