Kira

*** If you are interested in Kira, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ *** Meet Kira, an 8 month old, ADORABLE Basset Hound / Beagle mix who is as charming as she is adorable! Weighing in at 33 lbs, this short lady is the epitome of the Basset breed, with her signature stumpy legs, ridiculously long ears, and a face that could melt even the coldest of hearts! Kira has the sweetest, most gentle spirit. She and her littermate were rescued as part of a litter of puppies found abandoned on a rural property in Arkansas. Now, after months of love and care, Kira is ready to find her forever home in Colorado! From Kira's foster: * * * * "Kira is so sweet and so good! She is chill and cuddly and SO SWEET! She is really really cuddly and all she wants is belly rubs. She gets along with everyone! She would do well with kids, but older kids may be best since she is still a puppy and plays a little mouthy sometimes and we are still working on her putting her feet up on you when she gets excited to see you. She absolutely loves other dogs and loves to meet new dogs out on walks. She plays and cuddles with my dog at home. She walks very well on a leash and is a polite little girl. Meets other dogs and people out on walks very happily. She is a very "go with the flow" type of dog. Happy to go anywhere and she's come with me to a few restaurants / outdoor dog friendly places and does great. We are working on potty training, though she definitely needs a home with a yard, as she won't go potty out on walks. But she does go potty out in the backyard. Remember, she is only 8 months old but with a little more time and training she will get it down!! I wait in the yard with her and watch to make sure we don't go back inside until she pees. I reward her with turkey when she goes outside. She does well in the crate. Cries a little when I first put her in it, but settles fast. She sleeps in her crate if I want to sleep in, but sometimes I let her sleep in bed with me. If she sleeps in bed though, she gets excited to wake up in the morning and start her day! * * * * Kira likely has had any formal training. 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 she masters her 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. Kira has been fully vetted, is up to date on her vaccines, and spayed. 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.
