Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
There's nothing quite like puppy sweetness and silliness, and then they put their beautiful heads quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm baby breath. These gorgeous puppies are so pure and vulnerable with their whole lives lying in front of them, that it's unbearable to think of them homeless and alone on city streets and highways or in a high-kill shelter scheduled for euthanasia.
Yoda is a cute as can be 3 month old, 3 lb purebred Chihuahua (anticipated to be approximately 10 - 12 lbs when full grown) that is just waiting to be the love of a dog-loving family's life. Farfel's can't swear to the accuracy of this breed as no DNA test was done. This was the opinion of Arkansas veterinarians and we're going with their educated guess.
Yoda is starting out with great energy. While initially just a bit shy, this sweet puppy is blossoming in his foster home as he learns about living in a safe and nurturing environment with love and kindness. Now at 3 months old, Yoda's self esteem is growing each day as he learns that he's a very valuable guy that has so much to offer a dog-crazy family.
Yoda's beautiful coat is currently a bit shelter-sad. After a sudsy bath, this guy will be ready for his transport to Colorado.Yoda's forever family will need to make a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are perfect lifelong protocols for general longevity and coat care) to keep this little guy's hair super-healthy, shining and cottony soft.
Yoda is appropriately playful and inquisitive for his young age. He's also so loving and cuddly once he's comfortable in his environment. This snuggly little puppy would be very excited to be a couch potato and snuggle with his favorite people at the end of an active day. Even at just 3 months old, it's clear that this little guy is SO smart and sweet - very typical of the Chihuahua personality. Many would say the Chihuahua breed is among the most intelligent and loving in the dog world.
Since Yoda is just a puppy, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. Tiny Yoda will form firm bonds with his family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement puppy kindergarten followed by force-free level 1 Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a puppy's ultimate behavior and in his relationship and bonding with his people. It does take time and commitment, yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior.
Farfel's Rescue feels very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Yoda out to a home that doesn't choose to offer him this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area.
We're open to Yoda finding his forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart puppy. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a great choice for a puppy that would love nothing more than getting loved up periodically throughout the day. Sweet Yoda enjoys his relationships with all humans and dogs...we would prefer, however, to place him in a home with older kids (tail pulling or rough treatment will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development.
Yoda will be up to date on his vetting and vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. Continuing research is clear that it isn't in the best interest of the dog's future health to be fixed before one year of age. Farfel's is therefore happy to cover all costs for Yoda's neuter at that time if one of our Colorado rescue vets is used.
Applications are currently being accepted for this adorable and sweet as can be puppy who is learning about love and acceptance in his life. An adoption 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 Yoda, 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.
