Our hearts break for what Bissell has been through, and we vowed to find him the home that he deserves. Bissell was adopted from the New Mexico shelter that we work with a year ago, with a full body of hair, but this poor guy was not properly cared for. Fortunately for him, he was surrendered to the same shelter, with bad dermatitis and barely any hair. Luckily they brought him back before he could get in any worse shape. He's been neglected, let down, failed, and uncomfortable for who knows how long. Bissell now is in Colorado and getting the love, care, and compassion that he deserves.
Bissell had some hair loss due to dermatitis (however he has been fully treated and his hair is growing back in FAST!) Our assumption is his "owner" kept him outside for the year he was with him. Bissell has been fully vetted and treated for his hair loss, and is almost back to looking like his normal self!!
Bissell is such a good dog, who didn't deserve this! He is so friendly with all people, great with other dogs, potty trained, and even knows how to "sit" and "shake".
Bissell is believed to be a Border Collie / Lab mix. He is 3 and a half years old, and 46 lbs.
From Bissell's foster:
* * * *
"Bissell is honestly perfect!
He is the best of both worlds- he’ll relax and cuddle with you on the couch if you're just hanging out at home, but then can get up and hike 5 miles without missing a beat.
He is completely potty trained. He is non-destructive in the house and has free roam when I am not home.
He is great in the car.
He is super smart and knows his basic manners. He sadly has not had an easy start and was a victim of neglect but his hair is growing back and his skin is healing beautifully. In spite of all his hardships, he absolutely adores people.
He is good with other dogs (currently living with my two).
I mean he truly doesn't have any flaws! He is a really amazing dog."

Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Bissell in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.
We'd like to place Bissell in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his 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.
Bissell has been fully vetted, and he is in great health, up to date on his shots, and neutered.
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.
If you are interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ .
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application.
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.

An Adoption Application and an Adoption Contract must be completed before any dog can begin their one week foster. Our average adoption fee is $695. This amount serves to cover vetting, spay/neuter, all vaccinations, temperament testing, transport, a microchip, harness, food, and treats.
Our dogs come from Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and rural Colorado.

Pets are transported from the southern states every week. Almost 100% of the time, the dogs are spoken for as a result of adoption applications that can be referenced under Adoption at farfelsrescue.com. We study the applications. If the app indicates there is a match, followed up by a home visit and reference checks, the process moves to the next step. The adopter is committing to a one week foster (of course the dog can be returned at any time prior), and can then choose to finalize the adoption.

More about this rescue
We own a pet boutique named Farfel's Farm & Rescue on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. We have had the good fortune to find our niche in the Boulder community and experience success. We felt it very important to "pay it forward" in gratitude. We couldn't think of a better endeavor than to save dogs who were out of time in the southern states, yet had been identified with great temperaments. We dedicate our efforts to their good health and ultimate wonderful, permanent homes.
