Dachshund puppies and dogs in Broomfield, Colorado

Q LOVEs: couch buddy, walk on leash, hike off leash, returns when called, car rides, dog parks, potty trained, all shots current, healthy, 17lb, 10yrs He came to me 2yrs ago, was considered "challenging dog" - I took him bc I'm a vanlifer and could provide time/energy to train him. We've done well, now ready for a home that can give him a bit more space than a van (apt/house both are great) CURRENT NEEDS: some body handling sensitivity remains. For washing him, walk in shower is great. He doesn't like nail trims and tooth brushing, but loves dental treats! I'm happy to share all I've learned. He will do amazing w someone who is willing to build trust and continue train. TRANSPARENCY: he has bit me in very early stage bc I tried to bathe him w/o proper knowledge. He now enjoys warm shower on his body bc I educated myself. It's often the humans, not the dogs!

Meet Cleo the Chi Weenie! She is still a young pup so please only apply if you are ready for the training required and long term commitment Her and our other dog Sweet Potato are from the same hoarder which means they are use to living with a lot of other dogs in a nasty house where they have never been walked on a leash or been outside before. They need someone that is patience with them while they learn new things and preferably have another dog their own size in their home that can teach them things and be their comfort Right now she is a pretty scared and nervous girl - we will update her bio as she settles into her foster home. We do not recommend young kids in the home, she would need a quiet environment. Still gaging how she is but large dogs scare her right now All POSO Dogs come with: - Spayed/Neutered - Basic Shots (age appropriate) - Fecal and 4dx testing - other medical concerns addressed before adoption - 2 Free one on one dog training sessions with a professional dog trainer - Training received in foster home - Basic things like some food, treats, leash and collar - PDFs of training material and local coupons and dog sitter recommendations

Ruby is an incredibly adorable, short legged, 1 year old, 12 pound Dachshund / Chihuahua mix. She was rescued from a dog hoarding situation in New Mexico where she lived with 30+ dogs and sadly never (until now) got treated right, loved, or shown what it means to be someone’s cherished pet. Ruby must go to a home with at least one other small, social / confident dog. Ruby feels comforted, confident, and grounded when she is around other dogs, and they will be essential in helping her learn how to live in a loving home. She will not thrive as an only dog. She is more confident and happy with doggy friends around her and we want to do what is in Ruby's best interest when finding her a forever home! Ruby's adopter should expect a bit of a slow transition as she settles into a new home and learns that she is safe and loved. But it will be well worth it when you have gained her trust and see her amazing, puppy-like personality! From Ruby's foster: * * * * "Ruby is an incredibly sweet girl and once her personality comes out, you'll see that she really is just a sweet, young puppy!!! I want to preface this with now that Ruby has been with us for just under a month, she is a completely different dog than the one who initially came home with me! She loves me and my husband, follows me around the house, comes to the kitchen for her meals, kisses us on our faces, sits on our laps, and snuggles us at night. She just took some patience in the beginning, and had to learn that she could trust us. Ruby will need an adopter who can be patient with her at first as she decompresses and learns to trust in her new home. When she first came home with us, she was very shy and a bit fearful when it came to human touch (i.e. she would run from us if we tried to pet or touch her) but otherwise she’s actually been quite confident from the beginning. From the second day home, she was playing with toys, relaxing on the couch, playing with my dogs, jumping into bed at night, getting the zoomies around the living room, and would even crawl all over us if we’re eating in front of her (she has no shame there, haha - she LOVES food!) Just for the first about 2 weeks, Ruby was very hesitant of us and being touched by us (me and my husband). For the first 2 weeks she would run and hide under our couch when we would reach towards her. So, we just stopped trying to pet her. You just have to ignore her until she is comfortable and let her come around to you on her own... and boy has she come around and she loves us now!! So we basically ignored her besides feeding her and giving her treats, and let her come around to us on her own terms. This is the best way to do it with a dog like her, as you cannot gain trust when you do not respect her boundaries. After really a week, she started to slowly trust us (seeing our dogs trust us helped her a lot too!) and now she sits on our laps, insists on giving us face kisses, and snuggles with us. Now that she has been with us for just about a month, and has become comfortable with me and my house, I have just now started taking her outside to our yard to work on potty training. Luckily she is potty-pad trained, so up until now she was just going on a potty pad. Since our yard is something new (and cold) we are starting by bringing her out with our dogs and just giving her treats outside then letting her go back inside. This way she will start associating something good with our yard. (We crate trained her SO easily with treats and now she RUNS into her crate for treats so I know this will work well for her!). Once the yard doesn't feel so new and scary, we will then work on potty training her out there. Her adopter should expect to just need to go slow and use potty pads for the first few weeks with her as well, as she learns to be comfortable in your home and around you. She is such a sweet dog and worth that adjustment period!!! Food is absolutely the way to her heart. She is VERY food motivated. While she is crate trained now, she was not at first so for the first 2 weeks I didn't crate her at all because I didn't want to stress her out. During that time, she would stay loose in the living room with my dogs and does perfectly fine left loose. I would check the camera when I left her, and she would just be hanging out on the couches with the other dogs. Our house is very dog-proof since we have so many dogs ourself and foster a lot, but if there is food she can get, she will get it. Our trash can is not anywhere the dogs can get to, but if yours is, Ruby would try I bet. So she can be left loose, as long as the house is dog-proofed! She won't chew things that are not dog toys (unless it has food inside). I'd love to see Ruby be adopted by someone who understands that earning trust takes time for a dog who has been mistreated. Someone who is dog-savvy; either someone with rescue dog or fostering experience, or having adopted a similar dog in the past would be great. But not totally necessary! Just be patient and give her space for the first week or so and then the change will be amazing! I mean she turned into a normal, happy, playful puppy! And once you see that change, it's incredibly rewarding." * * * * We'd like to place Ruby in a home where she'll get the training and stability that she needs. Positive reinforcement training promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a young girl whose self-esteem will fly high while she masters her skills. 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. Ruby has been fully vetted, and she is in great health and up to date on her vaccines. She is spayed as well. 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/ .

** If you are interested in adopting Pete, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Pete! Pete is an adorable, 4 year old, 15 pound Chiweenie! (Dachshund / Chihuahua mix) Pete was found as a stray in Pampa, Texas and brought to a small rural shelter, where he quickly showed everyone just how friendly and social he is. Thanks to his happy, easygoing nature and excellent manners with other dogs, Pete was chosen to share a kennel with another dog at the shelter, which speaks volumes about how well he does in close quarters with canine friends. From Pete's foster: * * * * "Oh my god we LOVE Pete!!!!!! He is SO sweet like if you crouch down to his level and try to pet him, he hops right up into your lap. He just wants to be held and loved or be on your lap and be loved. He is so affectionate! He was shy at first, but still wanted pets and to be on my lap. But after 24 hours with me, he is totally warmed up! He has really been the perfect pup! No barking (except 1 tiny one when he saw himself in the mirror and got spooked haha). He does well on walks and is super polite when meeting other dogs. Sometimes loud noises on walks can spook him, like a big truck zooming by, etc. so we cut walks short if he's feeling uncomfy. He would probably do best in a home with a yard so he can go potty without the distractions! He has never barked on a walk. Just will get a little timid at loud noises. We had some friends over last night and he was a tad shy at first, but warmed up and was soon asking everyone for pets! He would prefer a female adopter, as he is a lot more shy with men. Not mean or anything - we had 2 guys over last night with our friends and he didn't bark at them or anything, he just didn't want to go up to them. He has had 2 potty accidents in the first 2 days home with us, but he goes outside every time we take him out. He is a major snuggle bug and sleeps in bed with me and he loves it! He rolls over onto his back for belly rubs every time we get into bed!" * * * * Pete 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 Pete 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 him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement. We'd like to place Pete 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.

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.

Axis arrives in Colorado Saturday 2/7/2026 and needs a committed foster home or adopter to welcome her! Axis and her brother Chaos had to leave their home because... politely put, they don't do well with chickens (please research what Dachshund's were originally bred for- the instinct is strong in these two). Axis is super affectionate, loves to be in your lap and loved on. She loves to play and run through tunnels with her brother and the other dogs but let's be clear- she's the boss. As such, she chooses to be more mouthy during play.  Good with other dogs (wants to play) and kids! Axis will hold potty until outside and is really quiet! Axis is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring her up and into their home! ***Axis is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2649708##

Meet Sutton, a sweet and soulful pup who is the perfect mix of fun-loving puppy and champion-level cuddler. Sutton is looking for a forever-home where he can settle in for all the belly rubs, fetch and naps on the couch!   While he might play a little hard to get at first, this shy guy warms up quickly, trading his shyness for tail wags and a spot on your lap. He plays well with other dogs and is gentle and patient with kids, making him the perfect plus-one for any family adventure. When he isn’t busy being a professional snuggler, Sutton is hard at work mastering his manners. He’s already a champion sleeper, sleeping through the night. He’s also almost fully-house trained and working on tackling crate training and basic commands.  ##2637538##
