Alfie was found abandoned on a freezing New Mexico street, and ultimately turned into a high kill shelter that was already very short on space. Luck was with this very sweet pup, as Farfel's managed to scoop in a get him just in time! Charlie is now safe with one of our fosters, but searching for his forever home! Charlie is healthy, cuddly and has the best, most bubbly personality! From the beginning, he was engaging and friendly. It's very important that any new dog gets the opportunity to attend basic (positive-reinforcement) obedience training. Charlie is an adorable jack russell with a stunning and shiny orange and white coat. Charlie will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition. A daily salmon oil supplement along with 5 star food is recommended for excellent general health and to keep his coat silky-soft and very healthy. Charlie has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion - he will form firm bonds with his people (as well as other dogs and humans) and learn positive socialization skills through the love of an excellent family. Farfel's feels that it's very important for these great families to attend positive reinforcement/force-free socialization class followed by level 1 group obedience classes. It does take time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a truly bonded dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior. We feel so strongly about every dog being given this training opportunity that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't choose training. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force-free trainers in your area. We're very open to Charlie finding his forever home with a retired couple or an individual with lots of free time to give to him. Charlie is described as incredibly sweet, engaging and snuggly. We'd prefer a home without kids, or with older kids for this sweet guy where the energy is calmer and voices are more gentle. We aren't open to Charlie being left alone for long hours while his family works full-time outside of the home. He's a sensitive dog that thrives on the companionship of his people. Therefore retirees, those who work from home, part-time or at a pet-friendly workplace would be perfect for this very loving and loyal best friend. Charlie will be up to date on his vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy and well-balanced puppies. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Charlie's neuter and microchip if one of our rescue vets is used. Charlie will be arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 3/28. Applications are currently being accepted for this gorgeous and very sweet and loving best friend. Apps 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 Charlie, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving puppy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
