Cupid

My story

** If you are interested in adopting Cupid please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Cupid is an adorable, 2-year-old, 11lb Italian Greyhound - Chihuahua mix with a friendly, happy-go-lucky personality. This little guy was found as a stray with 2 other dogs in the middle of nowhere before taken to the shelter in Carlsbad, NM. He is now thriving in a multidog foster home and loves having playmates. This sweet boy is full of life and always ready for fun. He's curious, smart, and full of love! He loves playing with other dogs and makes fast friends wherever he goes. Cupid's friendly personality and joyful spirit make him the kind of pup who brings sunshine into every room. With his playful energy and affectionate heart, Cupid is sure to be the perfect addition to a loving home. From Cupid's foster: * * * * "Cupid is a super sweet, playful little guy. He loves playing with squeaky toys and running around the yard. He would do great with someone who likes to walk or hike! He loves to run and play and LOVES being outdoors. I'm not certain if he is completely potty trained yet, but so far he has only had 1 accident. When I let him outside for a walk or to use the bathroom he goes right away, so even if he isn't completely potty trained he has a strong preference to go outside instead of inside. He's been sleeping in his crate at night, and is pretty good about it. I always leave the crate open as an option during the day and he will occasionally go relax in it. He does love to be by my side or in my lap. I think an ideal home for him would be someone who wants a lap dog to chill with and keep them company during the day, and possibly has a yard or likes to spend time outside. Overall he is very chill and loves all people. He also is very good with other dogs; friendly, and doesn't react when we pass them on walks." * * * * Cupid is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered. Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Cupid in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement. We'd like to place Cupid in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area. 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. Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, 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 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 Cupid, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
