My story

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

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

Meet Bobo! Bobo is a 6-year-old. 55lb Schnoodle (Poodle/Schnauzer mix) with a heart as big as his sweet eyes. Bobo’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. He was surrendered to a tiny shelter in rural Texas by his owners, who sadly didn’t have the time or care to give him the love and attention he deserved. Bobo spent the last 2 months confined to the yard, and the condition he arrived at the shelter in showed this! His coat became severely matted, weighing him down and causing him discomfort. After a much-needed grooming, he lost about 5 pounds and looked like a completely different dog.

But Bobo is a fighter! Despite his rough past and not being treated how he deserves, he’s incredibly sweet and resilient, and he’s ready to leave that chapter behind. He’s gentle, affectionate, and loves to be around people. Bobo enjoys cuddles, belly rubs, and simply being in the presence of someone who loves him. With proper care and attention, his beautiful coat will grow back healthy and shiny, and he’ll continue to thrive in a home where he’s cherished and treated with the kindness he deserves.

Bobo is also good with all other dogs he has met!

Bobo deserves a loving family who can offer him the warmth and comfort he’s been missing for far too long. He has a lot of love to give, and he’s looking for a home where he can feel safe and secure for the rest of his days. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s had a rough start but is still full of life and love, Bobo might be the perfect fit.

Bobo is ready for a fresh start, and he’s looking for a home where he can shower you with affection and share his fun-loving spirit.

We don't know if Bobo has had any formal training. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young dog whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice.
Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.
Our training requirement is to help every adoption be successful.

Bobo has been fully vetted and is up to date on his vaccines and neutered.

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.

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.
