Our compassionate Texas rescuers saved the life of this very sweet and irresistible Yorkshire Terrier with hopes of transporting him to Colorado for a new and wonderful life.
We're uncertain exactly what Alfie's history was or how he landed at a scary Texas shelter, but what we do know is that this little guy won the hearts of so many. Alfie's cuteness and the power of his sweet and loving personality motivated his rescuers to save his precious life. This irresistible pup is now safe and sound (and so happy) awaiting his transport to a wonderful new life in Colorado.
Alfie, at 7ish years old is such a great age. He's old enough to be beyond babyish behaviors but young enough to embrace a new life with excited anticipation at the many active and healthy years ahead.
Alfie is the perfect size and temperament for couch and bed cuddles, fun playtimes and neighborhood walks. This little guy would be a perfect choice for an older adopter who is seeking a best friend in their life. Alfie weighs approximately 13 pounds of cottony-soft fluffiness and loves his rescuer more than anything in the world. He will be the perfect companion for warming his favorite person's lap and bringing tons of love and silliness to their life.
Alfie is such a devoted and smart little guy. A much more relaxed and comfortable Alfie is emerging since he's been released from the scary shelter environment. Initially this poor pup was so frightened due to all the changes in his life, but with patience and love, he's truly blossoming!
Alfie loves his days with his rescuers! He enjoys his time where he can socialize with dog-loving neighbors and go on long walks for exercise and sniffing. Won't he be perfect for those gorgeous days where he can leisurely meet dog-loving people with their pups for conversation and loving pets.
Farfel's Rescue would like to see Alfie in a home with loving and devoted retirees that spends lots of time at home, or enjoy taking their furry best friend along on their adventures. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a good choice for this precious guy. Alfie is a very positive spirit who can be fun at home and also a perfect take-along sized guy. It's so easy to just scoop him up and snuggle him under your arm. He enjoys the car and is very happy riding along strapped into his car seat so he can watch all the activities outside his window..
Alfie is at his absolute best with dog-crazy adults or older children. He seems to enjoy the quiet loving energy that both bring to a home. A couple of daily walks with some backyard play followed by time on the couch or bed watching a favorite TV show would speak to this loving little dog. Alfie would be overjoyed to be part of a family that enjoys their leisure as well as active times. It would match his own energy level and he will be a very happy, full-time best friend.
Alfie enjoys his relationships with like-sized, gentle dogs but is unknown with cats. We believe he came from a situation with other dogs and seems to enjoy them. He does well as long as they're respectful of his smaller size and quieter ways. We feel that Alfie would also love life as an only dog with a family that will shower full-time love and pampering on him. He would return that love and kindness a million times over as he falls more and more in love with his new family.
Alfie has been identified by Texas vets as a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. We can't swear to this since no DNA test was done. What we do know for certain is that this little guy is irresistible.
Alfie appears to be a non-shedding dog..but we can't promise. He will therefore require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately every 3 months) and excellent nutrition. A daily salmon oil supplement coupled with a very healthy diet of 5 star food will keep this gorgeous guy's hair cottony-soft, matte-free and shining with good health.
Alfie has been fully vetted and vaccinated to fulfill Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to work toward a euthanasia - free future in the canine population.
Alfie will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 11/2/2024. If interested in this cute, cuddly and very loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE**. If you're truly interested in adopting Alfie please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's 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.
