Bamboo Labrador Retriever Young - Adoption, Rescue
Bamboo Labrador Retriever Young - Adoption, Rescue
Dec 15, 2024
Description

  Bamboo has always been a huge shelter favorite from the moment he was processed until he was lucky enough to leave the shelter. When he was scheduled for euthanasia due to lack of space, shelter staff immediately created a plea to save his life. The plea said the following:

  "It's truly Bamboo's absolute last chance today. We've begged, literally begged, for one more day for this amazing dog. Why? Because he is absolutely fabulous! It's not just me that thinks so (and I've never written a recommendation like this for any other dog in my 18 years at the shelter)..it's all of us.

  The moment we get to the shelter in the morning, Bamboo is our high! We hug him and he hugs us back with the biggest smile on his goofy face. He spends the day in the office sleeping on our feet or taking long walks just to enjoy the day.

  Bamboo has been to adoption events and sits in the laps of the volunteers (and they love to love him).

  He does a beautiful sit for treats and gives both paws upon request. He is the ultimate lover!. When we heard about Bamboo's pending euthanasia, we were all visibly shaken knowing it was going to be his last day on Earth.

  I can't even express how thrilled we all were when we heard that Bamboo was saved by Farfel's Rescue. He will be the best friend any family can possibly have! None of us will ever forget Bamboo's gentle nature, kindness and super-smarts. We are so excited to wish Bamboo the greatest life (for the greatest dog) in Colorado! Love you Bamboo!" - Jennifer

  Bamboo looked every bit the stray as he came into this high-kill shelter in Texas. It was possible that this beautiful 55 lb, 2.5 year old Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd (with the most expressive and trusting dark eyes ever) had never had a bath in his life. Bamboo was taken off the euthanasia list over and over because of who he is. But Bamboo is strong, and his sweetness and great personality always shines through.

  After a sudsy bath (coconut oil would feel so great on Bamboo's skin) followed by a regimen of great nutrition... and Bamboo will be the most handsome guy around!

  He has a wonderful disposition and through it all... strongly has the desire to love and be loved. Bamboo is never one to turn down a soft touch or a loving hug... or a friendly canine companion.

  Bamboo tries so hard to show that he's worthy of a permanent family to adore and respect him. His whole back end wags joyously when he sees a possibility for a pat or a loving gesture.

  Bamboo will be overjoyed with family love and attentionit would bring a light to those very kind eyes! Farfel's is searching for that special home for this exceptional guy. We're seeking a family that doesn't work full-time outside of the home and wants to spend quality time with a furry best friend. Bamboo will learn from the gentle guidance and time put in by people who love him. He will return that devotion a million times over.

  We feel that Bamboo would enjoy a very active retired couple or individual who would enjoy sharing the trails of Colorado with a furry companion. A family with dog-loving older children would also be great. If they're gentle and loving toward Bamboo and include him in their lives..he'll become a loyal best friend.

  Bamboo will shine in positive reinforcement group training class with a family that wants to participate and is excited at the prospect of being a leader to a very well-trained dog.

  Bamboo's self esteem will soar and reflect the happy and secure nature of a well-trained dog that can accompany his family just about anywhere a dog is welcome. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of force-free trainers in your area.

  It is Bamboo's love affair with life and the hardships that he's suffered along the way that motivates us to put him through Heartworm treatments..Bamboo's precious life deserves to be saved!

  Bamboo has tested HW+ and Farfel's (with the help of Dr G in Lakewood) has volunteered to save this very special dog's life. The heart worm treatment process involves several shots followed by a short period of quiet time for the dog. We have found this protocol to be very successful and the dogs go on to live long, happy lives.

  We are seeking an adopter to lovingly care for Bamboo as he becomes Heartworm negative.

  It's quite an easy rehab process as it only entails mellow time with soft words and belly rubs. Farfel's will pay the vet bills and provide premium food and treats for this special guy as he becomes healthily heartworm-free.

  Bamboo will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 3/30/18. Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested in this very sweet and devoted best friend, please fill out click on submit.

  **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Bamboo, please be sure to fill out our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving guy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Please include your phone number in your email inquiry so we can call you if there's a match. Thanks so much for choosing rescue.
