Story
We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see a sweet young dog that needs our help. Scarlet is one of these dogs that deserves, due to her excellent temperament and all the love she'll bring to a family, to have a wonderful home filled with pure love and nurturing. Scarlet is the kind of dog that once comfortable in her environment snuggles in, loves you up and then puts her head on your shoulder breathing her warm breath. She's so sweet (while being initially a bit shy) and so very loving and irresistible that you can't help falling head over heels in love. Scarlet is a gorgeous 25 lb, 11 month old Schnauzer / Shetland Sheepdog mix (Sheltie) that is nothing but pure love. Scarlet's breed was identified by Texas veterinarians..all we know for certain is that this sweet girl is irresistible! This pup is SO sweet and once acclimated to her new life, will make a wonderful addition to a dog-loving family. Scarlet's Texas rescuer has the following to brag about sweet Scar...What else can I say other then this girl is great! She’s sweet with other dogs, is learning about walking quietly on a leash, seems potty trained (but we'd never swear to it due to all the changes in her life), and seems to love everyone she meets. Scarlet has a positive and easy going personality and is the world's greatest cuddler once comfortable in her environment. The family that adopts Scarlet is very lucky..they're truly getting a gem! Scarlet is a perfect size to accompany her family just about everywhere a smaller dog is welcome. She will fit right into virtually every situation due to her great temperament and very sweet personality. Our dream for Scarlet is a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes her for life. As Scarlet becomes comfortable in her forever home, she'll blossom and become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please. The happier her family is with her behavior, the more Scarlet will shine with her accomplishments. Farfel's would like to see our wonderful girl in a home that includes her in family time and activities (and some couch-time with belly rubs would be perfect!) as well as taking that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person obedience classes. These classes successfully teach a smart and cooperative dog like Scarlet the skills to accompany her family out into the world with excellent behavior. Farfel's Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person force-free trainers in your area. Scarlet will be a loving and devoted companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a silly, fun-loving and irresistible dog. She would love to have another gentle and fun dog to play with but it's not mandatory if her people are nurturing and involved. Scarlet would also do well with a younger family that works from a home-based office. She would bask in the attention and periodic cuddles throughout the day that this life-style brings. Scarlet's scruffy coat is currently shelter-sad. She will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming, excellent 5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement. These protocols promote great health as well as a cottony-soft coat that is shining with great health. Scarlet has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. We've also requested that she be spayed prior to transport to Colorado. If this doesn't occur, Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Scarlet's spay / microchip if one of our Colorado rescue vets is used. Scarlet will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 11/15//2024. Applications are currently being accepted for this sweet and very loving best friend and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-res. cue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Scarlet 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 most 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.

These pups are in Denver, Colorado too!

Story
Eden is an approx 18 mos old 24# petite Corgi. She was surrendered by her family who was no longer able to take care of her. Eden is a busy and active little girl who loves people. She’d do very well with an active canine playmate who doesn’t mind the occasional nip or muzzle punch to initiate more play and enjoys being chased. We think Eden spent a good portion of her time outdoors previously so is learning to be an inside dog. She’s had some potty accidents indoors but for the most part goes outside to do her business when accompanied by her human. She’ll need consistent support and positive reinforcement to continue her potty training and someone home to go in and out with her during the day. She has been sleeping in her crate with some protest but her new person will need to make sure that she potties before bed or you’ll be getting a wake up call about  2-3 AM . She thinks napping and snuggling in the big bed with her human is pretty amazing. She doesn’t know many cues but does know her name and has a good recall. Eden gets along with most dogs with slower introductions (she can be spicy with unfamiliar dogs who don’t respect her space) but a patient, higher energy pup would be an ideal companion. We have not cat or kid tested her but recommend no cats as she is very herdy and kids 8+. Eden requires a herding breed experienced owner and a fenced in yard; she is not a good fit for an apartment situation. She would appreciate daily walks and/or runs and she is good on the leash. She would likely get kicked out of a dog park for trying to be the fun police. Eden needs an active home with humans who will include her in their daily activities and teach her fun things. She would love to learn a dog sport and/or have a job. Eden is spayed, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. If you are interested in meeting Eden you can complete our meet and greet application as the first step. We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Eden’s adoption fee is $450 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado. She’ll be available  after 7/4 . November 2, 2024, 3:49 pm

Story
Apple and his brother were found dumped in the desert in NM when they were just babies. They are approx 6 months old now and 20#. We believe that they are Cowboy Corgi mixes. Apple has a very sweet demeanor and loves being near his people. Apple is good with other dogs, respectful children 6+, and strangers. He has not been tested with cats. He enjoys snuggling with his human, chewing on bully sticks, and getting frozen kong toys. Apple requires a secure fenced in yard with humans who aren’t gone long hours. These pups are nearly potty trained but need let out often and late at night to do their final business. He will sleep in or out of his crate. Apple has learned to walk on a leash and is doing great. These pups love to eat which is good because they need to gain some more weight. Apple will often try and steal food so needs to be monitored if there’s another dog. They are a bit introverted and shy at first but warm quickly with soft talk and snacks. He will do well in a structured suburban or rural environment with active humans and lots of attention. A basic puppy training class would do wonders to build their confidence and teach them fun cues. If you’re interested in meeting Apple, the first step is to complete our meet and greet application at https://www.corgisandfriends.com/forms as the first step. We require the application, home and reference check, and meet with everyone in the home. Apple is neutered, utd on vaccs, chipped, and HW-. His adoption fee is $400 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.November 14, 2024, 7:55 pm

Story
If you are looking to add some sweetness to your life, look no further then Archie. Archie is a two and a half year old, 35 pound Corgi, maybe Corgi mix with a such a sweet, gentle nature. He was surrendered to CCFR by his family who were moving out of state and had too many dogs to take him along with them. Archie has led a fairly sheltered life, pretty limited to his family, home, and back yard. He is shy at first meeting but does warm up and gives great, full body wags. He’s a pretty mellow guy, but has recently discovered he has Corgi related opinions on noises and people outside so an apartment situation is not a good fit. He is content to hang out with you in the home but would like some adventure time as well. He is potty trained, crate trained, and non-destructive in the home. He walks nicely on leash despite his lack of experience with it. His immunizations are up to date, he is neutered, microchipped, and heart worm negative. He would do well in a home with a secure, fenced yard, with someone who is more at home than not to help him learn about this big world and develop his confidence. He is not cat tested or young child tested. He might be ok with older, respectful children. He would do well with another congenial dog in the home but not do as well if the other dog is very dominant because then his confidence would never get the chance to develop. He could stand to shed a few pounds so daily walks and getting him out to experience more of the world as well as monitored feedings are required. He would be a great companion dog for someone as he is so in-tune with the humans around him. If you are interested in meeting Archie and possible adoption, please complete the Meet and Greet/Adoption Application under forms. We require an application, references, home check, and that Archie meet all those living in the home. Archie’s adoption fee is $400 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.November 6, 2024, 2:36 pm
