My story

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

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

Lucas is a lovable, 4-year-old, 22 lb Chiweenie mix who truly can’t understand how he ended up in a shelter in New Mexico —especially when he knows he belongs in someone’s lap, being cherished just as he deserves. This sweet boy adores people and is happiest when he’s soaking up pets, attention, and affection. He's arriving to us here in Boulder on 1/7/26, and we're accepting applications now to find him that pawfect home!

Lucas is also full of happy wiggles and enthusiasm! He’s always ready to play, greet new friends, and share his joyful personality with everyone he meets. Whether he’s bouncing around with excitement or settling in for cuddle time, Lucas brings the perfect mix of fun and love.

Lucas is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.

Farfel's Rescue and our New Mexico rescue partners would love to see Lucas in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see her left alone all day while her family works full-time outside of the home, as she is much too social for that type of arrangement.

We'd like to place Lucas in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.

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.

Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.

**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, 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. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
