Bart is a sweet, soulful 9 year old, 59 lb Foxhound mix with the kindest eyes and the gentlest heart. Bart’s story is one that really sticks with you. He came into a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Houston, Texas after his owner passed away. Bart was found in the house, mourning the loss of his human mom. Bart was then dropped off at a high-kill shelter where he was pending euthanasia due to a lack of space. While we can’t know every detail, it’s clear that Bart was deeply loved in his previous home. He arrived at the shelter in great condition, which tells us he spent his life as someone’s cherished companion. Despite everything he’s been through, Bart has remained incredibly sweet and gentle. You can tell he’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people, quietly soaking up love and giving it right back. It’s impossible not to feel how much he misses having a home of his own. From Bart's foster: "Bart is a really good boy! He is great with our kids (9 & 13), he loves them, actually! He does great with both of our dogs also. He walks well on leash and enjoys walks. But he also loves just being lazy and snuggling. He sleeps in a dog bed next to our bed and sleeps through the night. He is potty trained! Bart is a very happy go lucky gentleman. He is so so so friendly and sweet. He does well in the car also!" Bart is ready for a fresh start...a soft place to land where he can feel safe, loved, and never alone again. He has so much love left to give, and we would truly love to see him spend his golden years exactly where he belongs: in a warm, caring home. Farfel's Rescue has made the decision that we'd like to see Bart in a home with loving and devoted retirees that spends lots of time at home, or enjoy taking their furry best friend along on their adventures. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a good choice for this people-loving guy. Bart is a perfect take-along guy. He enjoys the car and is very happy riding in the back seat so he can watch the activity going on outside the window.. Bart is at his absolute best with dog-crazy adults. He's much more comfortable with their quiet energy. A walk followed by time on the couch watching a favorite TV show would speak to this sweet dog. He would be overjoyed to be part of a loving and responsible family. Bart has been fully vetted, vaccinated and neutered to support Farfel's commitment to excellent health in our dogs and zero population growth in the canine community. Our wonderful Bart is looking for his forever home now. If interested in this beautiful and very cuddly 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 Bart please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue!
