Malibu

My story

** If you are interested in adopting Malibu, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Ever wanted a husky but didn't want a big dog?? Then this little short legged girl is the perfect match! Malibu found herself in a small high kill shelter in New Mexico, where no dog should be. She was brought in as a stray with 5 other littermates. Farfel's was reached out to (we love a short legged dog!) to help, and we couldn't resist! Malibu is believed to be a Corgi / Husky mix. She is just a young girl still, at only 6 months old. She is currently just 14 lbs, (and the smallest of her siblings) and believed to be around 20-25 lbs full grown. Malibu has the perfect temperament to accompany her family just about everywhere a dog is welcome. She will fit right into virtually every situation due to her very sweet personality. As Malibu becomes comfortable in her forever home, she'll blossom and show her personality more and more. It takes rescue dogs a few days typically to feel comfortable in a new home, given all that they have been through. Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement/force-free training. We therefore aren't willing to adopt out to a home that doesn't choose to offer this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force-free virtual and in-person trainers in your area. Malibu is up to date on her vetting/vaccinations and spayed, to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial. Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder 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 dog. We're sorry, but in many 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Malibu, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
