Story
Meet Sierra! Sierra is an adorable, 6 month old, 25 lb Schnoodle (Schnauzer / Poodle mix) who is ready to start her next chapter in Colorado. She is expected to be around 45 - 50 lbs when full grown. This sweet girl was found as a stray in Pampa, Texas. No one came looking for her, which is hard to believe given what an incredible puppy she is. Thankfully, Sierra now has a ticket to Colorado and a bright future ahead!
Sierra is everything you’d hope for in a young pup; happy, affectionate, curious, and full of life. She greets the world (and everyone in it) with a wagging tail and an open heart. Whether she’s meeting new people or making doggy friends, Sierra is a total social butterfly. She absolutely loves being around others and thrives on connection, making her a wonderful companion for a home that’s excited to include her in daily life and adventures.
At just 6 months old, Sierra is still very much a puppy, which means she’s in that fun and formative stage of learning about the world. She’s playful and energetic, always ready for a game, a walk, or a romp with other dogs. She would likely love a home with another friendly pup to play with, or an active person or family who will keep her engaged and continue her socialization.
Because she didn’t have a known background before being found as a stray, Sierra will benefit from continued guidance as she grows. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, she has all the potential in the world to blossom into an amazing lifelong companion. She’s already shown us how smart and eager to connect she is, which will make training both rewarding and fun.
We feel very strongly that every dog and their family deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Sierra out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area.
Sierra is looking for a home that will embrace all the joys (and responsibilities!) of raising a young dog - continued training, structure, exercise, and, of course, lots of love. In return, she promises endless tail wags, happy greetings, and a loyal companionship that will only grow stronger with time.
Sierra has a stunning wire-y coat that speaks of her breed mix. Her hair is currently shelter-tired but once on a regular protocol of care, it will be gorgeous and shining with excellent health. This sweet girl will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately every 8 - 10 weeks) and excellent nutrition (5 star food and a salmon oil supplement for hair care) to keep her coat cottony-soft, shining and matte-free.
We're open to Sierra finding her forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart pup. Sierra enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs, we would prefer however, to place her in a home with older kids only (tail pulling or rough treatment by young kids will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Sierra enjoys her relationships with other dogs as well and would love playing hard and enjoying the sunshine with a canine friend on a beautiful day.
Sierra will be up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed in our quest to create a euthanasia-free future in the canine population.
Sierra will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 3/28/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this beautiful, very sweet and loyal best friend. 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 Sierra 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 we have to determine a great match for this very deserving pup. We're sorry, but in many 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.
