My story

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

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

Sierra is a great example of why people love Cattle Dogs.
At just about 2 years old (such a great age..young enough to have many, many active and healthy years ahead and old enough to be beyond babyish behaviors) and a small 33 lbs., Sierra is open and curious to learn about the world. She is a loyal and loving girl who bonds hard and respects those that are kind and loving to her.

Sierra had a tough early start in life and ended up homeless in Texas through no fault of her own. Sierra has a spirit about her that caught the attention of compassionate rescuers. They saved her from euthanasia at a scary high-kill shelter (due to space), and fell in love with her sweetness and kind nature.

The following is from Sierra's foster:
"This girl is absolutely amazing!! She goes to playgroup with around 10 other dogs every morning and does great. She is very people friendly and very well mannered."

Farfel's Rescue feels that Sierra will be a wonderful best friend for active retirees or a younger family that enjoys including a fuzzy little dog in their activities. She will be overjoyed with the time spent and togetherness, becoming with time, a loyal best friend and a very important member of the family.

Sierra will thrive with a family with dog-crazy older kids who enjoy fun activities with their pup. They would be able to participate in positive reinforcement group training classes to teach Sierra the skills to be able to accompany her family out in the community with excellent behavior. Farfel's will provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers in your area.

Sierra can be relied on, once confident in her surroundings, to share her love and best behavior with her humans. As her confidence grows, she blossoms into a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to share time, play and learning new skills with a kind and committed family. We feel that a full-time workday outside of the home for her family won't work for Sierra. She thrives on family-time and being at home while her people works full-time isn't in the best interest of this devoted companion.

Sierra will be very in-sync with a family that includes her in dog-friendly adventures, backyard fun, exploring the Colorado mountains or window shopping on Pearl Street to learn urban skills are great adventures for Sierra.

Sierra has been vetted and vaccinated to honor our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She is spayed as well.

Sierra will be arriving on transport in Boulder in early April. 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.

Their adoption process

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.
