My personality

My story

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

Our beautiful Kiwi couldn't be sweeter (once settled in her environment) no matter how hard she may try. Kiwi is a 10 month old Schnauzer / Poodle mix (Schnoodle). Farfel's can't swear to this breed identification as it was the opinion of Texas vets and no DNA test was done. All we know for certain is that this gorgeous girl is irresistible and just waiting to be the love of someone's life.

Fluffy smaller size dogs have grown tremendously in popularity over the past few years. It makes perfect sense in that they're known for their sweet temperaments as family dogs, cottony-soft, non-shedding coats and engaging personalities.. Farfel's makes an effort to rescue as many of these small mixes as possible with the confidence they will be sweet and loving family members. Kiwi has all these wonderful traits and is described by her Texas rescuer as an absolute love bug.

Kiwi has had a challenging period of time but is now safe and sound never to be cold or hungry again. But with it all, Kiwi doesn't hold a grudge and desires only to be the best companion possible. Since this sweetie-pie is still a young girl, she's a blank slate open to all possibilities if treated kindly and with respect.

Group training classes with her family and a positive reinforcement trainer would truly serve both Kiwi and her family (as it does every dog and their people). Together they will learn the skills to have Kiwi become a companion that is well-behaved in virtually all situation. It also creates strong bonds of love and respect between dog and family.

Kiwi while initially a bit shy due to all the changes in her life, tends to be a happy-go-lucky girl who loves life and responds very well to love and time spent together (hugs and kisses are absolutely awesome), and of course some great treats are always a wonderful plus. Izzy gets very attached to those she loves and if given a bit of time and patience, will be on her way to her favorite people for belly rubs and kind words.

Kiwi loves to come along (and is very portable at just 30 lbs) for a fun hike on a gorgeous Colorado trail, a game of fetch at the park or just socializing at home, Kiwi would love to be there as Companion #1. She has such a pleasant personality and is portable enough to fit in just about anywhere.

Kiwi wouldn't be happy being alone if her person works full-time hours outside of the home. She is far too people-oriented to be content with that arrangement. A retiree or a younger person who works from a home-based office would be a great choice for Kiwi. She would love the periodic belly rubs over the course of the day. This is a lesson that results in a happy and confident adult dog.

Kiwi has a non-shedding coat (or so we're told by Kiwi's rescuer) that's currently shelter-sad. Kiwi will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately ever 8 - 10 weeks) and excellent nutrition, A five star food and daily salmon oil supplement will bring Kiwi's coat back to the cottony-soft and luxurious coat that is consistent with her breed mix.

Kiwi has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to further our fight to end the overpopulation challenge in the canine community.

Kiwi will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 12/20/025/. If interested in this very sweet and loving best friend please fill out an application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ completely and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Kiwi 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 many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thank you 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.
