My story

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

** If you are interested in adopting Suzie, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **

Suzie, also affectionately known as Sue or Susan by her foster mom, is a spunky little Chihuahua with a heart full of sweetness. At around 5 years old and just 11 lbs, this pint-sized beauty is the perfect balance of playful energy and snuggly affection. She may be small, but her personality is larger than life!

Suzie absolutely LOVES attention and will happily shower you with love and cuddles. Whether she's curling up on your lap or giving you a gentle nudge for some pets, Suzie is always eager to be by your side. She's friendly, social, and gets along well with everyone she meets—humans and fellow pets alike.

Suzie had a home she had known her whole life, but her owner unfortunately went into a nursing home and she found herself in a small, over crowded, scary Texas shelter. We couldn't have agreed to take Suzie into our rescue faster!

Her foster family can't get enough of her endearing self. Suzie's spunk and joy for life will make you smile every day, and her adorably cute face and personality will melt your heart.

If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who's ready to share lots of love and fun, Suzie is the girl for you!

We envision Suzie with either retirees (she would be overjoyed with time spent and being at the center of a loving family) or a younger dog-crazy family that works at home or would be able to take Suzie to a dog-friendly workplace.

Suzie has been fully vetted, is up to date on her shots, and spayed.

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** Farfel's Rescue makes huge efforts to place our dogs with families that are excellent matches. We do this through our application found on farfels.com or at the link provided above (never through rescue site apps such as RescueMe, Petfinder or Adoptapet as they don't provide enough information) If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out the Farfel's Rescue adoption application.. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving puppy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.

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.
