If you're searching for a devoted and loving best friend, Bixby is the guy you want to have around! Bixby, at 4 - 5 years old old and 27 lbs is just naturally a lover. When he looks at you with those dark, expressive eyes and sweet smile, your heart just has to melt. Bixby is a gorgeous and sweet as can be Corgi / Cattle Dog mix (check out his stunning tricolor coat with the cutest markings) all the traits that make these super- smart and personality-plus dogs very popular and beloved family companions.
Farfel's Rescue received a plea from our Texas rescue partner asking us to save the life of sweet Bixby. This is through no fault of his own but rather due to lack of space in the shelter. They described this adorable Corgi mix as wonderful, kind and very loving.
Bixby is an affectionate and loving guy once comfortable in his situation. He can be initially shy (completely understandable considering the challenges of his previous life) who would enjoy nothing more (once comfortable) than sitting on your lap for cuddles, going on long hikes through the gorgeous Colorado mountains and at day's end, crashing and snuggling close all night long. Bixby is a friendly, playful and silly little guy. He has happily interacted with other gentle dogs and his Texas foster mom and dad. They found him absolutely irresistible once over his initial shyness.
Bixby has a never-ending positive attitude and will love his family with all his heart. He would definitely enjoy another sweet dog to play with, and then would love nothing more than to lie together in the sunshine enjoying a beautiful day.
Bixby will have so much fun exploring the paths and trails Colorado's high country. He is always open to new activities with a great attitude...just say the word and up Bixby jumps for a car ride to a dog-friendly destination, a fun backyard game or just a sociable walk around the neighborhood.
Bixby is a very loving dog! We would like to see him in a home with a family (older kids only so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet pup. We'd hate to see Bixby left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home. He seems to be too sensitive for that type of arrangement. Bixby will thrive on spending the days near his people getting loved up periodically throughout the day.
Farfel's Rescue would like to see Bixby in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and tons of loving hugs. A virtual or in-person positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a sweet pup whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his skills. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt Bixby out 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.
Bixby's stunning tricolor coat is currently shelter-sad. He will require a lifelong commitment to periodic sudsy baths and excellent nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are great lifelong protocols for coat care and general health) to keep Bixby's coat cottony-soft and shining with excellent health.
Bixby has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's contention that our adopted dogs are always completely healthy. He has also been neutered to forward Farfel's commitment to a euthanasia - free future within the canine population.
Bixby will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 2/4/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet, loving and loyal best friend. An 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 Bixby 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.

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.

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.
