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/ **

*** Please note Annie's potty training status is unknown!! Petfinder does not have an option for "unknown". We are waiting to hear back from her foster about if she is or isn't potty trained yet.***

Meet Annie! Annie is a 2 year old, 50lb, Border Collie mix (possibly with some Aussie in her too). She is so gorgeous and has one blue eye and one brown eye.

Annie was found as a stray in Houston TX and nobody reclaimed her. She now has a ticket to Colorado to start a new life! Annie adores people, does amazing with other dogs of all sizes, loves attention, and is already proving to be incredibly adaptable and eager to thrive in a loving home.

From Annie's foster:
"She’s doing great! She is super sweet and gets along really well with my dogs. They play and cuddle and she does great with my big dog and my small dog!
Annie is always wagging her tail and has a very happy, friendly personality!"

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.

If you are interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ .

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.
