About Farley

Chihuahua / Dachshund
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Farley is a 1 year old male Chiweenie. He weighs about 10 pounds. Farley might be a Dachshund and Chihuahua mix but no one knows for sure. He's very sweet! He's still young, submissive, likes to play and chew and learns fast by copying everything the foster home's older dogs do. Farley gets along with everyone but he was feral when he came to Smidget Rescue. With loving care, he's finding his courage and starts to enjoy back rubs and lets his primary caretaker pick him up. He travels well in his crate in the car and comes back from the yard when whistled to. He has been taught to walk on leash. He has also gone on to hikes and did well there. He loves eating and is very food motivated! Even though he was feral, he has never shown any aggression towards people or other dogs. Because he still has fears of people, it would be helpful for him to have an older, social dog to show him the way. When he's called, he doesn't dare to come. But when an older dog is called, he tags along behind it, wags his tail and begs for cuddles. Farley rarely barks but when he does, we are happy he has found his voice and feels confident enough to use it. Farley has been good with kids, but he has been too afraid to let them pet him (unless he's tired and napping on the couch). With time and trust that will change, too. Farley's most fun time is playing with another dog at the foster home. He's still very playful and would benefit from a brave and playful dog friend! Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older, and always before being placed in their new homes. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at [email protected] or click on the CONTACT link on this page. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. If you live within a five-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
