My story

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

There's nothing quite like puppy sweetness and silliness...and then they put their beautiful heads quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm baby breath. These very loving young babies are so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think of them homeless and terrified or at a high-kill shelter scheduled for euthanasia due to a lack of space. .

Taylor is a gorgeous 3 month old Cairn Terrier / Yorkshire Terrier with all the cuteness and loving spirit we've come to know from this breed mix. Her breeds are according to the opinion of Texas vets..all we know for certain is that she's absolutely adorable and irresistible!

Taylor is starting out with great energy and a very sweet and kind nature. Taylor's Texas foster mom is thrilled to inform us that this puppy is absolutely blossoming. After just a short time in foster care, she sees that Taylor seems happier and braver in her new environment. She's becoming an adorable and fun- loving ball of love and sweetness that's emerging. We know that the long transport between Texas and Colorado will be a challenging setback for our sweet puppy, but with love and patience, we're certain she'll come around and thrive.

Taylor is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age. Once this puppy is comfortable with all the changes in her life, she'll be very loving and cuddly. This snuggly little girl would be very excited to be a couch or bed dog and cuddle with her favorite people at the end of an active day. Even at just 3 months old, it's clear that Taylor is SO smart and very engaging and social - very typical of the Terrier personality.

Since Taylor is just a puppy, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. Taylor will form firm bonds with her family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement puppy kindergarten followed by level 1 force-free Obedience Classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a puppy's ultimate behavior and in her relationship/bonding with her people. It does take time and commitment, yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior.

Farfel's Rescue feel very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement/force-free training classes that are virtual or in-person. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Taylor out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/force-free virtual or in-person trainers in your area.

We're open to Taylor finding her forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart puppy. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a great choice for a puppy that would love nothing more than getting loved up periodically throughout the day.

Taylor enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs. We would prefer, however, to place her in a home with older kids (tail pulling or rough treatment will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in both a dog's and a child's development.

Taylor will be up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. Extensive new research shows that Taylor is far too young to be spayed at this time.
When she's approximately 12 months old, Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Taylor's spay if one of our rescue vets is used.

Taylor will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 4/24/2024. If interested in this sweet as can be best friend, applications are currently being accepted. An adoption 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 Taylor, 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.

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.
