*** Come meet me this Saturday (10.10.26) at our annual Dellenbach adoption event from 10am-3pm. The event is located at: Dellenbach Subaru 3103 S College Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80525. This event is first come, first serve. We recommend arriving early if you have a particular critter in mind. Please note, if they are signed up to attend the event they cannot be met with or adopted prior to the event. We hope to see you there! :) *** Eklutna's got a wonderful disposition - she's sweet, loving, mellow, playful, and loyal. She loves meeting new people, approaches dogs neutrally, and never stops wagging her tail. She loves tummy scritches, napping, and an occasional 20-minute bout of playfulness followed by a big rest.

Story
WARNING: Francli’s little legs may contain springs. We don’t know how a dog this tiny can move this fast, but Francli has apparently decided that walking is optional. He bounces from toy to toy, races toward his favorite people, and throws his whole little body into having the best day ever. And then, just when you think he has only one speed, he climbs in for a cuddle. Francli adores being with his people. Give him a little love and a favorite chew, and he’s happy to settle down beside you—at least until his next adventure calls. Francli does well with other dogs and kids. He would love a home that enjoys his playful energy, keeps some good chews on hand, and has room for a little shadow who wants to be wherever his people are. He may be small, but the joy he brings into a room is enormous. Could Francli be your new best friend? Apply to adopt him at **www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt**—and please share so his person can find him! #AdoptFrancli #DenkaiAnimalSanctuary #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #SmallDogBigPersonality #ForeverHome ##2843740##

Story
** If you are interested in adopting Biscuit, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Biscuit is a 5 year old, 23 pound purebred Pug. Biscuit (AKA Sea Biscuit) was surrendered to the shelter in New Mexico because his owner lost their job and could no longer afford to feed and care for a dog. Despite loosing his home and all of the confusion, Biscuit has remained happy and friendly throughout the process! Biscuit now has a ticket to Colorado where he can find a forever family ready to give him the love that he deserves. Biscuit is great with other dogs, friendly with people, great with kids, and cat-friendly! He is potty trained as well, however will need to learn his new homes routine. We'd like to place Biscuit in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement 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. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area. Biscuit is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered. 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. Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, 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
Tiny costumes. Big puppy energy. Meet Otto! Hi! Otto, and I'm trying on Halloween costumes while look for something I can wear forever: a family name tag. I'm about 3 months old, and my résumé includes playing with other dogs, walking nicely on a leash, and investigating absolutely everything. Potty training is a work in progress, and l'm learning the dog door. So many doors. So much to learn! And at this stage of my life, I am pretty much, I guess would say, a Velcro pup as seek my safety next to the oneI love. Cats? Very interesting. I've been known to chase them, so need supervision and help learning that cats aren't playing tag.  I was adopted and returned because being a puppy was more work than my adopters expected. But I'm still just a baby, learning how this whole "being a dog" thing works. I'm looking for someone ready for the playtime, patience, training, and commitment that come with helping me grow up. I'm neutered, up to date on my shots, and attending an adoption event next week! Come meet your next little sidekick. Cape optional. Commitment required. [Event location] PetSmart 9291 S Broadway, Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 [Date and time] October 10, 11-3 ##2828650##

Story
Whenever a sweet and engaging rescue dog gets into an urgent situation, Farfel's rescuers like to help. We find that many of the dogs that are relinquished to a high-kill shelter or found as strays are very loving with excellent temperaments. They ultimately, with patience and love, make sweet and bonded family companions. Sprinkles is one of these dogs that ended up in a scary shelter through no fault of her own. Sprinkles, upon her arrival at the shelter was described by personnel as very sweet, although frightened in the shelter environment. Shortly after, Sprinkles was reported as becoming more comfortable, engaging and even silly with her rescuer. Shelter personnel ooh'd and aah'd over this beautiful Puggle mix and described her as not only beautiful, but soo sweet! The shelter veterinarian identified Sprinkles as a 1 year old, 21 lb Pug / Beagle mix. We can't swear to the accuracy of this breed (although we can definitely see it!)...what we can speak to is her sweetness and her value as a wonderful companion for a dog-loving Colorado family. Sprinkles, (once comfortable in her environment) is very puppyish in her enthusiasm for all people that are kind to her. She has a love of life and a positive attitude that touches the heart. After all, his very deserving girl has never had a loving or nurturing family to call her own. She has been a victim of circumstance in her life. Farfel's Rescue is committed to changing this trajectory for this awesome dog that has so much to offer a committed family. Rescue dogs can initially be a bit shy or nervous. This is expected in light of the very long transports and stresses of rehoming. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dogs, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time is perfect for our wonderful Sprinkles. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs are a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. If Sprinkles is initially given the time, she will absolutely shine. Farfel's Rescue has found over time and thousands of rescue dogs that the families that attend virtual or in-person training class with one of our approved positive reinforcement / force free trainers keep their dogs for life, except in very unusual circumstances. Dogs that do not get proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of developing behavioral problems. There is a bonding that occurs between a dog and their family through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a pup to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's is unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to participate in this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area. Sprinkles is such a great age and size. At 1 year old, she's a blank slate that is young enough to embrace new behavioral concepts in her life with many, many healthy and active years ahead. Sprinkles is also the perfect smaller size to accompany her family on fun adventures everywhere that a well-behaved smaller dog is welcome. We envision active, dog-crazy retirees for our sweet Sprinkles. She would respond so well to the love and attention that this group offers. She would also do well with a younger family that works from a home-based office to love her up periodically throughout the day. We feel that our Sprinkles is too sensitive a girl to spend long hours alone while her family works full-time outside of the home. Sprinkles has a stunning tan coat that is currently shelter-sad. Our girl will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. Current research is clear that the best diet for a dog is a natural, real food diet. This natural nutrition will cut down on vet visits as well as add years to a dog's life. Farfel's has had experience with Chi Diet (chidog.com). It saved the life of our dog and we wholeheartedly recommend it for yours. Sprinkles will be up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to attain a future where dogs are never euthanized due to overpopulation in the canine population. Sprinkles can't wait to meet her new forever family! If interested in this very cuddly and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit. **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Sprinkles please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com.
