Meet Benji, a tiny ball of wiggles and love!
If you're looking for a playful, loving puppy with a heart of gold, then look no further than little Benji! At just 8 weeks old and a tiny 5 lbs, this little guy is a bundle of joy, puppy energy, curiosity, and pure sweetness. He was found wandering the streets as a stray – just imagine this precious 5 lb baby all alone, with nothing but his big heart to guide him. After being picked up and brought to a shelter, his future was looking grim. With the shelter at capacity and because of a small wound on his cheek, Benji was immediately at risk of being euthanized.
Fortunately, we couldn’t bear the thought of this sweet baby being put down, so when our Texas rescue partners urgently reached out, we jumped into action. With only an hour to spare, we rushed to get Benji out of the shelter and into a loving foster home, where he is now safe and awaiting his ride to Colorado to find his forever family.
Benji is believed to be a Border Collie mix. At 8 weeks and 5 lbs, he is believed to be around 35 lbs full grown.
From Benji's foster mom:
"Benji is so adorable. His face scrapes are healing very well. He's very quiet and calm, enjoys playing with his toys and wants to play with my old pups.
He eats well and loves food!
Since Benji learned my schedule, he has had no poo accidents in his kennel area, where he eats and sleeps. I let him out to the fenced patio area first thing in the morning and after he eats, a couple of other times in the day and before bed. He always poos outside! Such a dang good puppy!!!!
As I said, Benji is a very quiet puppy. He likes being held and is in his teething mode so he gets lots of chews (whimzees) and loves them.
Benji is just the best!"
Since Benji is still a puppy, he’s a blank slate – ready and eager to learn! He’ll thrive in a home where he can receive the time, love, and training necessary to help him become the well-behaved, confident adult dog he's destined to be. With the right guidance, including puppy kindergarten and positive reinforcement training, Benji will blossom into an amazing companion who will form deep bonds with his family.
Benji needs a family who can invest in his training and socialization as he grows. He’ll need positive, force-free obedience classes (virtual or in-person) to set him up for success and to ensure he’s a happy, well-behaved pup that can go on adventures and be a joy to have by your side. This kind of commitment pays off tenfold when you have a dog who is not only well-behaved but also an absolute joy to be around.
Training is an adoption requirement of ours, and we are not open to adopting to a home who doesn't have desire to train a new puppy.
Benji will be up to date on his vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. However, he will still need 1 more parvo/distemper vaccines before it is safe for him to walk on public ground.
Extensive new research shows that he is far too young to be neutered at this time. Neuter is required to be done before he turns 1 year old (7-8 months of age is recommended) and neuter is required to finalize any adoption.
Farfel's Rescue covers the full cost of his neuter if our rescue vet is used.
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.
Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet dog! 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 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!

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.
