My story

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

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

Meet Patch! Patch is a delightful 2-year-old Chihuahua / Boston Terrier mix with a sparkling personality to match his adorable looks. At just 19 lbs, he’s the perfect size for cuddling on the couch or joining you on outdoor adventures.

Patch was rescued as a stray in Albuquerque, NM, and has been winning hearts ever since. He’s a friendly and playful pup who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely loves people. His silly antics and affectionate nature make him a joy to have around—he’s sure to brighten every day with his sweet presence.

While Patch’s past is a mystery, his future is looking bright. He’s ready to learn and grow into the best companion he can be. Because of this, we’re seeking an adopter who will commit to helping him build confidence and refine his skills through positive reinforcement training. Whether virtual or in-person, training is a fantastic way to bond with Patch and ensure his continued success as a loving member of your family.
We’re happy to recommend experienced, force-free trainers in your area to support you on this rewarding journey.

Patch has been fully vetted, and is up to date on his vaccines. He is not yet neutered. Patch will need to be neutered within one month of pick up, and we cover the full cost of this at our vet. No adoption is final until he is 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.

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**. 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!

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.
