Garfunkle Is 12 and Still Has a Forever Home Ahead of Him

At 12 years old, Garfunkle is looking for someone willing to make room for a senior dog and give him a place to call his own. This male Chihuahua mix is currently staying in a foster home through Path to Furever Home, a Las Vegas volunteer rescue that works to find permanent homes for dogs who need a second chance.

Garfunkle’s adoption listing doesn’t offer a long description of his personality or daily habits, but it does share an important detail: he is being cared for in a foster home. That means prospective adopters have an opportunity to connect with the rescue and learn more about the dog behind the profile before deciding whether he might be the right companion for their household.

A Foster Home Is Part of Garfunkle’s Journey

Path to Furever Home is a volunteer nonprofit dedicated to rescuing stray, neglected and abused animals and helping them find permanent homes. Rather than housing its dogs in a traditional shelter setting, the organization relies on volunteer foster families who open their homes and provide care while dogs await adoption.

That foster-based approach also gives potential adopters a chance to ask questions about a dog’s needs and circumstances. For Garfunkle, learning more about his routine, preferences, health and comfort around other pets or children will help interested households understand what life with him might look like.

At 12 years old, Garfunkle is a senior dog. Adopting a senior can be a meaningful opportunity to offer a dog a comfortable home during an important stage of life, while welcoming a companion whose individual needs and personality deserve thoughtful consideration.

What to Know About Adopting Garfunkle

Garfunkle is listed through Path to Furever Home and is currently in a foster home in the Las Vegas area.

• Rescue: Path to Furever Home

Path to Furever Home begins its adoption process with an application, which helps the organization learn about a prospective adopter and determine whether a particular dog may be a good fit. An adoption counselor follows up to discuss the application and answer questions. If the process moves forward, a meeting is arranged, typically at a neutral location such as a park or adoption event. Applicants may bring family members and their dogs to meet the prospective new companion.

Once a match is approved, adopters review and sign the adoption contract. The dog’s microchip is then transferred into the new owner’s name, and medical records are provided. The rescue states that its dogs receive medical care that includes deworming, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and microchipping before adoption is finalized.
