About Alex & Austin-PENDING!

Boston Terrier / Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

The story of Alex and Austin is becoming all too common in today's world. They were rescued from a family who didn't love them enough to consider their welfare when they were moving. It's not unusual to find dogs tied to trees with no food/water when a family has long moved out of the home. It's only due to the compassion and energies of our Texas rescuers that Alex and Austin are safe and in a loving foster home. Our rescuer knew that her goal for these very sweet dogs was a transport ticket to Colorado. She saw them as being special with their excellent temperaments and lap dog sweetness that gave them every opportunity for a great life. She took responsibility for their vetting (perfectly healthy!) and temperament testing (they aced it and mesmerized the tester with their silliness and pure love). Their Texas foster contacted Farfel's Rescue and we were thrilled to speak up for this bonded twosome. We're now on a search for a family with love in their hearts for two very sweet, fun and loving dogs. Alex is a gorgeous purebred Boston Terrier weighing 22 lbs and just about 9 - 12 months old (These photos don't come close to doing either of these beautiful guys justice). He's a cuddly and sweet as can be guy who loves his bonded brother Austin like crazy. He also thinks his foster family is awesome and it's almost as if he wants to let them know how grateful he is for their nurturing. Austin is one of the cutest and scruffiest Terrier mixes ever! He's 12 - 18 months old and 13 lbs of pure love! He was thought to be a Wheaten Terrier/Cairn Terrier mix by Texas vets. All we know is that he's a friendly and very engaging little guy who will be a gift to a dog-crazy home. These wonderful companions are very friendly (and silly and engaging) They are very devoted to each other but are very willing to share their sweetness with their humans. They fall in love easily and once comfortable give 100% to those that are kind to them. Our Texas rescuer is very compassionate and works tirelessly to save the lives of dogs that pass their temperament testing with flying colors. She became an advocate for Alex & Austin's rescue and made the final arrangements for their ultimate transport to Colorado and a forever home where they would be nurtured and respected. Goodbyes and good wishes were said..and Alex & Austin were on their way to a foster home to receive lots of belly rubs and reminders of their training on house skills and leash walking. Alex and Austin started their socialization immediately when they were introduced to their foster family of 2 teenagers, a smaller dog and two dog-crazy parents.. and they did great! The fact that was immediately obvious to all is that Alex & Austin are truly a bonded pair! Their relationship is very soothing to them when they're together. Their foster provided the following information...Both these dogs are sweet and very friendly. Alex tends to follow Austin and take his cues from his reactions. Once comfortable, both are absolute cuddle-bugs! They love to play and have so much fun..and then climb into a welcoming lap or comfy couch for belly rubs and a snooze. Farfel's Rescue made the immediate decision that as a bonded pair, we need to honor the power of Alex & Austin's relationship. We're searching for a very loving and gentle family...it seems that retirees or a dog-crazy younger family that works from home or just part-time would be perfect for these two. If given the time and opportunity, Alex & Austin will be a devoted duo that will be a gift to their family. Alex & Austin will be overjoyed with long walks with their favorite people. A beautiful Colorado trail or neighborhood path will speak to their love of the outdoors. It will also provide the exercise and mental stimulation that every dog requires for long-term happiness. Since Alex & Austin are smaller guys, they're so portable that you can scoop them up into the car for a fun adventure or they'd fit under a plane seat for a visit to a dog-loving friend or relative. Alex & Austin are truly a case of two being easier than one. They're always ready to cuddle with their people..but when life calls for their humans...Alex & Austin are very capable of keeping each other busy and happy.
