About Mia-ADOPTION PENDING

Jack Russell / Fox Terrier
Age: Young Puppy
Sex: Female

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 unwanted and homeless. Mia, at only 9 weeks old and 2 lbs (is estimated to be full grown at about 10 - 12 lbs), was facing the end of her life before it ever began. Farfel's New Mexico rescuers are compassionate and loving and couldn't turn their back on this beautiful puppy...they rescued Mia just in time. This sweet and engaging Jack Russell/Fox Terrier mix is starting out with great energy...the excellent results of her puppy temperament-testing ended with a transport ticket to Colorado and a new life. Mia is also incredibly beautiful...with a cottony-soft coat that you can't help but touch . The shine in this little girl's cottony-soft coat has come out since she's received a sudsy bath at her foster home. Mia is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age. She's so smart and very engaging...so typical of both the Jack Russell and Fox Terrier breeds . She's also loving and so cuddly ...clearly having no memory of her scary start. Since Mia is just a baby, she's a blank slate just 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 and will form strong bonds with her people (as well as other dogs and humans from outside of her family) and learn positive socialization skills through puppy kindergarten followed by positive reinforcement group Obedience Classes. It does take time (an hour each week for 6 weeks ) and commitment (15 minutes of practice each day)...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can be great at home as well as able to accompany you out in the community with excellent behavior. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers in your area. We're open to Mia finding her forever home with a very active retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a puppy. She would thrive on being the center of attention and developing strong bonds with her family. Mia will be overjoyed to return your love a thousand times over. Mia is great with all ages but we would prefer to place her in a home with older kids that can be very gentle with this tiny pup. These children can participate in a gentle yet consistent training regimen and therefore develop a very strong relationship with Mia. If she has kind and gentle children in her life, Mia will develop a love for kids and will be a loyal and very loving best friend. Mia will be up to date on her vetting. Mia is too young to be spayed at this point. When Mia is a bit older, Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for her to be spayed/microchipped at one of our Colorado rescue vets to be in line with our commitment to be a part of the solution to pet overpopulation. Mia will be arriving on transport in Denver in late September to early October (we'll update once date is finalized). Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested in this cuddly and very loving best friend, please fill out our application completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Mia 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 pup. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks so much for choosing rescue.
