Alvin is an incredibly cute ball of fun that climbs into your heart (and lap) with a wag and a kiss. Alvin is truly beautiful with his stunning coat and dark eyes with wisdom beyond his years. Once this sweet as can be guy gets a sudsy bat, he'll absolutely be one of the most adorable pups around.
At just 1 year old and a very petite 27 lbs, Alvin is a perfect size to accompany his family just about anywhere a very sweet and engaging dog is welcome while being large enough to be an active best friend enjoying outdoor fun with his family. Alvin is believed to be a Cattle Dog mix.
From Alvin's foster:
"I love, love, love this foster. Alvin is smart, loving, obedient and potty trained!!! He eats well, walks on leash well and loves chasing squirrels around the yard. He sleeps through the night on a dog bed at foot of bed, and gets along great with my other dogs. "
Alvin loves everyone, be it human or canine. We want to nurture this positive vision of the world by matching Alvin to a family who expresses their devotion for him in many different ways. We'd like Alvin to attend virtual or in-person positive reinforcement obedience classes to be the very best adult dog he's capable of being. We also feel Alvin would be most comfortable with an adult family or one with older, dog-crazy kids..we wouldn't want tail pulling or awkward handling by very young children.
Right now, Alvin is a blank slate who will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved and most cuddly guy around. Alvin is such a pleasure that he can easily be a constant companion and would love nothing more than being together enjoying and learning from his family.
Alvin has been fully vetted and vaccinated to fulfill Farfel's commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to insure he's never a contributor to the overpopulation crisis in the canine world.
Alvin is available for adoption now. Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet, loving and loyal best friend. An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Alvin 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.

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.

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.
