My story

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

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

Meet Annie! This sweet, 8-month-old Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mix is 26 lbs of pure love and resilience. (She will likely be around 28-30 lbs full grown. Remember this weight is her weight without a leg!)

Annie came to us from a shelter in New Mexico after being found as a stray with a badly broken leg—likely the result of being hit by a car. Sadly, her leg couldn't be saved, but Annie hasn’t let that slow her down one bit.
Now a proud and determined tripod, Annie is quickly mastering life on three legs and doing it with a smile on her face and a tail that never stops wagging. She's playful, happy-go-lucky, and has been charming everyone she meets (other dogs included)!

Annie adores people, loves attention, and is already proving to be incredibly adaptable and eager to thrive in a loving home. She’s a true gem with the heart of a survivor—and we think her unique story makes her even more special.

From Annie's foster:
"This sweet girl is a gem!!! She is SO cute and sweet and playful and did I say cute??!?!?!!? She LOVES other dogs and loves to play! Her leg amputation has not slowed her down haha. She still runs and plays and gets the zoomies like a normal dog! She is a fast learner and walks great on a leash. She is almost potty trained - just needs a little work still. She has learned to sit at the door when she needs to go out!
She is a happy go lucky puppy and someone will be really really lucky to have her!"

We don’t know if Annie has had any formal training, but a (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class will help her build confidence, bond with her new family, and master good manners. Training is essential for a successful adoption, and a requirement of our adoptions. Farfel’s is happy to provide a list of recommended force-free trainers to set him up for success.

Annie has been fully vetted, is up to date on vaccines, and spayed.

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.
