About Opie-ADOPTION PENDING

Dachshund / Yorkie
Age: Young Puppy
Sex: Male

There's nothing quite like young puppy energy and silliness...and then they lie quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm doggie breath. They're so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think that they're homeless in rural New Mexico. A kind rescuer took Opie in to prevent him from the horrors of a high-kill shelter. This rescuer, recognizing the engaging and very sweet temperament of the baby she had just saved, contacted Farfel's Rescue. Farfel's was told about the great personality and over- the- top cuteness of this special puppy and made the decision to help Opie find his first ever forever family. He deserves a great home and loving guardian just as much as any other sweet baby with a great temperament. This sweet and engaging Dachshund/Yorkie mix (an up and coming new designer breed that's loved for it's cottony-soft coat, super-cuteness and engaging personality) is starting out with great energy...the excellent results of his temperament-testing ended with a transport ticket to Colorado and a new life. Opie is also very beautiful...with that adorable puppy face that you just want to hug..and tell him that everything is going to be perfect from this point forth. Opie is appropriately playful and inquisitive for his young age. He's so silly and very engaging...very typical of these breeds. He's's also bright and so loving (loves to cuddle in your lap-but watch out..puppy energy may call). Opie clearly has no memory of his scary beginning. Since Opie is just a baby, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome companion. Opie will form firm bonds with his family (as well as other dogs, cats and humans) and learn positive socialization skills through being exposed to many different situations out in the world. Puppy kindergarten followed by positive reinforcement group Obedience Classes are so important in molding a puppy for a life of good behavior...and therefore the ability to include them in activities out in the world . It does take a bit of time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you with appropriate behavior. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of positive reinforcement (force free) trainers in your area. We're very open to Opie finding his forever home with an active retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a puppy. Opie is known to do well with gentle older children (but has never been formally temperament tested) and other dogs are very fun for Opie. Opie is up to date on his vetting, but has yet to be neutered. We're hoping that he will be fixed when he arrives from New Mexico, however a tiny puppy like Opie is often deemed too young to neutered. If this is the case, Farfel's will cover all costs for Opie to be neutered and micro chipped at our vet in Denver to be in line with our commitment to be a part of the solution to pet overpopulation. Opie will be arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 7/7/18. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and devoted best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Opie, please be sure to fill out our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving girl. 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.
