About Albert-PENDING!

Shih Tzu / Maltese
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

If you're searching for the most devoted and loving best friend ever....Albert is the pup you want to have around! Albert, at just about 4.5 years old (such a great age..old enough to have left puppyish behaviors behind and young enough to have many, many healthy active years ahead) and 12 lbs, is just naturally a lover ....when he looks at you with those dark, expressive eyes and sweet smile, your heart just has to melt. Albert is a truly beautiful Shih Tzu/Maltese mix with all the traits that make these very smart and personality-plus dogs very popular and beloved family members. Albert enjoys his time with his foster mom so much that he joins her just about everywhere she goes...it's so important to Albert, once comfortable, to be a true best friend! He comes to love his people more than anything and would definitely win a lap-dog award. Albert cuddles close on the couch (or snuggling close on the bed all night is perfect!) with his beautiful head draped over his favorite person's leg...an occasional kiss from Albert is inevitable. He's a sensitive and very sweet guy who derives so much joy from his time spent with his people and his doggy siblings. Albert is a young, healthy guy who will love his family with all his heart once he understands that he's safe and very loved. He would enjoy another kind and gentle dog to play with and would be so happy to lie in the sunshine enjoying a beautiful day together. Albert will have so much fun exploring and taking long walks along the Colorado trails. He is always open to new activities with a never-ending positive attitude...just say the word and up Albert jumps for a car ride, a belly rub or just a sociable walk around the neighborhood..Albert is working on his leash skills and is doing better each day. Albert's rescuer had the following to brag about this sweet guy: Albert is a stunning Shih Tzu mix with a beautiful face and the prettiest and wisest eyes ever. He definitely gets more loving and engaging every day that he spends with me. Albert is an extremely affectionate and loving dog! I would love to see him in a home with a family (older kids preferred so there's no tail-pulling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal best friend. I'd hate to see Albert left alone all day while his family works full-time. I think he's too sensitive for that. He's such an amazing dog and just the right size and temperament to accompany his people just about anywhere. Farfel's Rescue would like to see Albert in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and tons of loving hugs. A 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. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of positive reinforcement trainers in your area. Albert is a non-shedding, hypoallergenic guy with the softest hair ever. As is evident in his photo, Albert's coat has gotten very little care. We're hoping that there's a grooming appointment available prior to Albert's transport to Colorado.. if so we'll update with post-grooming photos. Albert will require a commitment to periodic grooming and great nutrition (salmon oil is an excellent lifelong supplement for longevity and hair care) to keep his coat healthy and soft as cotton. We've requested that Albert be neutered prior to his transport to Denver. We're not optimistic that this will occur due to far too few vets in this impoverished area of New Mexico. If it doesn't...Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Albert's neuter and microchip if our Denver area vet is used. Albert will be arriving on transport in mid-July (we'll update when we get date confirmation). Applications and inquiries are currently being accepted for this very sweet and loyal best friend. An application 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 Albert, 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.
