My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Waffles could be that dream come true pup for active retirees who enjoy spending their time with a scruffy and adorable guy who is so loving and engaging. There's no question that Waffles would also do well with very gentle, dog-loving older kids who enjoy the fun and snuggles that a sweet little dog brings to a family. We want to make certain that sweet Waffles is handled kindly and with respect.. and he'll return that loving treatment a thousand times over with his loyalty and love. Waffles enjoys playing and is entertaining in his silly antics and the love / hugs that he wants to share with everyone who is kind to him.

Waffles story is all too common in his close close call to being homeless in Arkansas....but who could ignore his cuteness, adorable manner and desire to bond with anyone who could potentially be his best friend? This beautiful guy was ultimately relinquished to one of our Arkansas rescue partners...they couldn't bear the thought that Waffles would end up in a high-kill shelter scheduled for euthanasia due to lack of space.

Waffles may initially be a bit shy due to all the changes in his life..but give him just a minute (a belly rub and yummy treats are wonderful) and he inches just a bit closer to a welcoming lap. Before you know it sweet Waffles is gently loving you up with a soft kiss. The awesome Arkansas rescuers recognized all of these wonderful qualities and knew that there was a home out there that would love, respect and make this little guy a permanent and very important member of their family.

At 8 months old and 10 lbs (anticipated to be approximately 14 lbs when full-grown), Waffles is a perfect size for hiking the Colorado mountains, neighborhood walks (he's a very social guy) and backyard fun with his family..and then at day's end, this loving pup would enjoy nothing more than a warm lap or a spot on the couch or bed next to his favorite people. Waffles enjoys his relationships with other dogs as well and would have so much fun with another playful and gentle canine best friend..

Waffles would do well with anyone who's invested in spending time with their pup. He will be a committed and loving best friend..and would be overjoyed with the opportunity to come along and be part of the fun. This little guy is so pleasant and portable that he can be a part of any adventure....it can be a visit with friends, a car ride, a vacation or just an afternoon spending time together plopped down on the couch. All of this would speak to Waffles sweet temperament and love for his people.

Farfel's isn't open to an adoption where family members spend their days working full-time outside of the home. We'd like Waffles to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle. Those who work from a home-based office would be a perfect choice for this friendly and engaging pup.

Waffles will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming and excellent nutrition (a daily salmon oil supplement and 5 star food is recommended for longevity and eye/coat care). With this regimen, Waffles's coat will be matt-free, cottony-soft and shining with great health.

Waffles will be up to date on his vetting/vaccinations to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered in support of a euthanasia - free future in the canine population.

Waffles will be arriving on transport in Denver on Wednesday 10/2/22024. Applications are currently being accepted for this very loving and sweet companion dog / best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out our application completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Waffles please be sure to fill out the Farfel's adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving little dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit a Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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.
