** If you are interested in adopting Kevin, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Kevin! Kevin is an adorable 5 month old Dachshund puppy who is already full of personality in his tiny 8 lb frame! He is expected to be around 15 lbs full grown. Kevin came into a Texas shelter after being found out on the streets with another young puppy. The two were likely surviving together, navigating the world far too early on their own. Thankfully, Kevin is now safe, heading to Colorado, and finally getting the chance to grow up the way every puppy should; warm, protected, and loved! At just 5 months old, Kevin is very much still a baby. Everything is new and exciting to him, and he’s in that classic puppy stage where curiosity leads the way. He’s playful, observant, and learning quickly, taking in the world one little adventure at a time. Like most Dachshund puppies, he’s expected to grow into a dog with a big personality packed into a small, long little body! Equal parts silly, smart, and opinionated in the best way. Kevin has been dog social and loves canine companionship. He would enjoy having a playful dog friend in his future home. That said, he’s also young enough that he’ll happily bond deeply with his people and look to them for guidance, comfort, and reassurance. As a puppy, Kevin is still learning all the important life skills. He’ll need a committed adopter that understands puppies require time, training, and consistency. In return, Kevin will offer all the things that make puppyhood so special: goofy antics, sweet snuggles, and those heart-melting moments where he looks at you like you’re his whole world. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young dog whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. 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. Our training requirement is to help every adoption be successful. Kevin has been fully vetted, is up to date on his vaccines, heartworm negative, and neutered. 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.
