Italian Greyhound and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Sam is an adorable, 6-year-old, 18 lb Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix with a heart of gold and the sweetest little personality!

Sam had a loving home, but sadly his person became ill and could no longer care for him. Despite this big life change, Sam has remained a happy, well-adjusted, and loving pup who is ready to bring joy and laughter to his next forever family.

This charming little guy is a total social butterfly! He absolutely loves people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Sam thrives on companionship and is happiest when he’s with his humans, whether he’s curling up on your lap, burrowing under a cozy blanket, or trotting after you from room to room with his wagging tail and bright, loving eyes.

Sam is also potty trained, which makes the transition into his new home that much easier. He’s an easy, affectionate companion who simply wants to be loved and included in daily life.

Sam would do best in a home where he gets plenty of attention and companionship. Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Sam out to a home that doesn't choose to offer him this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement / force-free virtual or in-person trainers in your area.

Sam has been fully vetted and vaccinated to adhere to Farfel's protocol of only adopting out healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to support Farfel's commitment to a future world where dogs are never euthanized for space.

Applications are currently being accepted for Sam and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If you're interested in this sweet, cuddly and fun-loving best friend, please fill out our application form completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Sam, 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.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The Italian Greyhound is a small and elegant breed known for its slender build, gracefulness, and affectionate nature. These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and loyal companions that thrive on human companionship. They excel in agility and obedience activities, and their short coat requires minimal grooming. Despite their delicate appearance, Italian Greyhounds are surprisingly resilient and energetic, enjoying playful activities and romps in a secure outdoor area. Their loving personalities and expressive eyes make them a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a charming and devoted pet.

Farfel’s Farm & Rescue was founded on the idea that each dog deserves a loving home and the chance for a happy life. We are so thrilled to be able to rescue these amazing dogs from urgent situations in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas and Cancun, Mexico. Working with a dedicated team of volunteers, the dogs are pulled from high-kill shelters because they’ve been recognized for the gifts they will bring to a loving family. They are then transported by specially licensed vans to Colorado for a second chance at life. The dogs are evaluated and treated for any medical issues before being transitioned to their new family, where they can become accustomed to having a family’s love, a warm bed and plenty of healthy food!
