Story
What is there to say about Marti? So much! This sweet little lady is still a puppy herself. She came into rescue as a young mama with three puppies, all of them had come from a hoarding case in Texas.  Now that she’s finished raising her babies, it’s finally her turn to be spoiled and loved in a forever home. Marti is playful, affectionate, and happiest when she’s with her people or her dog friends. She loves playing with the other small dogs in her foster home and is just as happy curling up for cuddles with her foster mom and foster sister after playtime. She’s already potty trained, crate trained, and is learning what it means to simply be a carefree dog. Marti can be a little timid around new people and will need a patient family willing to give her time to settle in and build confidence. Once she feels safe, she blossoms into the sweetest little angel. While she hasn’t been introduced to children yet, her foster believes she could do well with respectful older children after a slow, thoughtful introduction. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who deserves a second chance at simply being someone’s beloved best friend, Marti is ready to fill your home—and your heart—with joy. If you are interested in adopting Marti, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2785927##

Story
Jade is an adorable ball of cottony cuteness that climbs into your heart (and lap) with a wag and a kiss. What isn't clear in these shelter photos is how truly beautiful this puppy is with her stunning apricot coat and sweet as can be smile. When Jade looks at you with her gorgeous dark eyes, it's impossible not to fall deeply in love! Jade is every bit the sweet puppy, fun-loving, active and so silly! At the same time this sweet baby is a happy-go-lucky girl who expresses herself with her wagging tail and excited kisses of love once she feels comfortable in her environment. Farfel's Rescue would like to see Jade in a home where she'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and tons of loving hugs. Positive reinforcement / force free virtual or in-person training classes promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for a puppy whose self-esteem will fly high while she masters her skills. Farfel's feels so strongly about a training opportunity for every dog that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to make this loving choice. We are happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement trainers in your area. Jade has a gorgeous non-shedding apricot coat that is currently shelter-sad. Her forever family will need to make a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming (approximately every 8 - 10 weeks) and excellent nutrition . Current research is clear that the best diet for coat care and general health / longevity is a fresh, human grade diet. Farfel's recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) for the long, healthy life of your dog. Right now, Jade is a blank slate who will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved and most cuddly dog around. She bonds easily and would love nothing more than to be a full-time best friend - neighborhood walks, trips to the store (she'll be a great window-shopping friend), couch-sitting and backyard fun would be just right for Jade as she grows and becomes more and more comfortable in her new life. This precious puppy is flexible enough that she can be introduced to virtually any situation and if there is love and gentle guidance, she can succeed. Jade's new family must have the motivation, energy and open heart for a young rescue dog. She requires behavioral guidance with boundaries and tons of love to give her a positive outlook on her world. Our sweet Jade would be overjoyed with a family that spends lots of time at home during the day. She would love nothing more than to be a best companion for daytime walks, cuddling and outdoor play. A family that works full time hours outside of the home wouldn't be a match for this sweetie as she's too sensitive for that type of arrangement. Jade has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to honor our work for a euthanasia-free future in the canine population. Jade is arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 8/5/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet as can be puppy. If interested in this very cuddly and loving best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. ** PLEASE NOTE ** If you're truly interested in adopting Jade, 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.

Story
Wendell is a darling Shih Tzu/Bichon mix born on April 7, 2026. This 7.4-pound teddy bear boy was rescued from the commercial pet trade and is now discovering that life can include loving people, fun toys, doggy pools and an abundance of available laps. Affectionate, gentle and eager to please, Wendell loves to make eye contact with his people as though he is quietly asking, “Do you love me? Am I a good boy?” He is an expert at finding a vacant lap and wiggling his way into it, and he would prefer a family that is not away from home all the time. Wendell has a moderate activity level. He enjoys playing but settles nicely for cuddles and quiet time. His greatest recreational passion is water: he fetches toys from the doggy pool, runs straight through it while playing and occasionally performs a one-foot doggy paddle in only a few inches of water. He is crate/pen trained and is making progress with potty training. Most of his business is done outside or on a potty pad, although he still has occasional accidents. He is also working on basic commands. Wendell has done well with small and large dogs, older dogs, male and female dogs, cats, men, women and elderly adults. He has spent time with children ranging from two years old through their teens and loves their attention. He could live with other pets or be perfectly content as an only dog. Wendell's long, silky-soft coat will require regular grooming. Adopters should be prepared for this lifelong care and expense.

Story
Meet Gracie, a four-pound teddy bear with miniature legs, a gentle heart, and a suspicious amount of confidence around the big dogs’ food bowls. Born on April 11, 2026, Gracie was rescued from the commercial pet trade and arrived at PRAR unexpectedly. She wasted absolutely no time stealing every heart in her foster home. This silky-soft white-and-gold puppy is affectionate, mild-tempered, playful, and wonderfully relaxed. She loves following her people around, cuddling in their laps, and falling asleep on her back like a completely boneless little noodle. Gracie has been good with cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and sexes. She enjoys wrestling with other dogs, running through her play tunnel, playing with small stuffed toys and tug ropes, and hunting for treats in enrichment toys. She is crate/pen trained, food motivated, comes when called, and is working hard on potty training. Gracie tries to potty outside and looks for a potty pad indoors, although she still has occasional puppy accidents. She sheds and has a low-to-moderate activity level. Her tiny legs are better suited to playtime and household toddling than serious hiking adventures. Gracie can cuddle with Olympic-level commitment but is also able to relax and nap on her own. She could fit beautifully into many different homes with adopters who will continue her puppy training and provide plenty of love, enrichment, and appropriately sized adventures. IMPORTANT: Petfinder inquiries are not adoption applications. To learn more about Gracie and apply to adopt her, you MUST visit www.pawsitiverestorations.com. Applications must be completed through the Pawsitive Restorations Animal Rescue website.

Story
Tibby is a darling Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix born April 9, 2026. With her impossibly soft white-and-gold coat, fabulous bird-like head fluff, and enormous personality, she is essentially a living teddy bear powered by zoomies. This brave little explorer is usually the first puppy to investigate anything new. She loves running outside, navigating tunnels, hunting for treats in puzzles, chasing balls, chewing sticks, and “helping” in the garden—primarily by digging in it. Her favorite party trick is the grab-and-go: spot a treasured toy, snatch it at full speed, and prance away like she just won Best in Show. Tibby has moderate to moderately high energy and is often the last puppy still playing. She is affectionate without being clingy, checking in for quick kisses and cuddles before heading back to her adventures. When she finally gets tired, she loves being scooped up for proper snuggles. Tibby is crate trained and making great progress with potty training. She prefers going outside in the grass, uses potty pads, and still has occasional accidents. She is also learning basic commands, fetch, and polite puppy manners. She does well with dogs of different sizes, ages, and sexes and could live with another friendly dog or be an only dog. She has done well with elementary-aged children, teenagers, adults, and elderly people. Her experience with children under three and cats is unknown. IMPORTANT: Petfinder inquiries are not adoption applications. To learn more about Tibby and apply to adopt her, you MUST visit www.pawsitiverestorations.com. Applications must be submitted through the Pawsitive Restorations website.
