My story

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

Soup is a 1-year-old, 5-pound Chihuahua/Toy Fox Terrier mix who was found as a stray in New Mexico. The shelter was a scary place for such a tiny guy, and while he’s understandably timid at first, all Soup truly wants is a safe place to land and a human who will meet him with patience, kindness, and consistency.

Right now, Soup is a cautious little soul who’s still learning that the world can be a gentle place. He may take some time to warm up, but we have absolutely no doubts about his ability to bloom in the right environment. With love, structure, and positive experiences, we expect his confidence to grow and his personality to shine through.

We feel very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity to succeed through formal, positive reinforcement–based training, and Soup is no exception. For this reason, we will only consider adopters who are committed to enrolling him in force-free, reward-based training classes to help him build confidence and trust at his own pace. Farfel’s Farm & Rescue is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement trainers in your area.

Soup may be small, but his heart is big — and he’s ready to give it to someone who will help him feel safe, seen, and loved.

Soup will be up to date on his vetting / vaccinations . He will also be neutered before arriving to CO on 2/25/26.

Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet 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 Soup, please be sure to submit our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most circumstances, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks so 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.
