Story
Phyllis has such a cute wrinkly face! This sweet girl can be a bit insecure at times, so she will benefit from a gentle and patient adopter. Phyllis also appears to be inexperienced and overwhelmed by other dogs, so HSBV is requiring she be the only animal in her next home. Additionally, to help set her up for success, HSBV will only rehome her to a family without children or with children over the age of 10.

Story
Hi. My name is Poppy, and I am a Pug/Chihuahua mix.  I am 14 months old, weigh about nine pounds and everyone says I am cute as a button and full of personality. I love to play, take walks, ride in the car, and snuggle. I have a lot of foster mutt siblings at my foster home. I like most of them, but one is really big. Foster mama says he weighs thirty pounds! She tells me he is very friendly, but I am not so sure of that, so I have to show him who’s boss. Foster mama says I can be protective of my favorite human around the other resident mutts. She says it's understandable because I didn't have the easiest past and so I want to make sure I keep tabs on the nice humans.  My best fit forever family or human would be a patient and loving adult or adults, maybe with another dog my size.  I like treats, lots of cuddles, and sleeping curled up with my human. I also like to go wherever my human is going. Sometimes I dash out the door in excitement, but I come back when mama calls. My new family will have to understand that I am just a little thing. The world can be scary, and I need to show how brave and fierce I am. (Mama says that is the Chihuahua in me.) If you're interested in adopting Poppy, please fill out an adoption application here: https://underdogsrescue.org/adopt-form/ Underdogs is a small volunteer-based animal rescue and we unfortunately do not have the resources to respond to phone and email inquires about our adoptable animals at this time. If you're interested in learning more or setting up a meeting with one of our animals, please complete an adoption application first. It may take up to two weeks for application review and one of our coordinators will reach out to you as soon as we are through the intitial review process. We appreciate your patience and understanding! Thank you! ##1943487##

Story
Togo is a 7MO Pug mix (we are guessing) weighing about 20lbs.  We are guessing he is going to be about 20-25lbs when full grown.  Togo was found in Kansas, abandoned with 2 other siblings in a field.  They were in a common dumping area so we know they were clearly dumped.  24 hours after finding the 3 pups we found another dog in the same area, who the shelter named Skade. We cannot say for sure, but we are guessing that Skade was their dad because they are all very similar in looks.  Togo and his two brothers, Finn and Moose are wonderful little pups.  They love to zoom around the fosters yard and rough house with each other - like all young pups.  They are very social and happy.  Togo would love to go to a home with another dog to play with and humans to snuggle and love.  He doesn't have to go a home with another dog as long as he gets good exercise and mental stimulation like all dogs do.  While we are guessing they are Pug mixes these cuties would still be great adventure buddies.  They will be the perfect size for adventures and for snuggly lap-dog days.

Story
Alvin is an incredibly cute ball of cottony fur that climbs into your heart (and lap) with a wag and a kiss. What isn't clear in this shelter photo is how truly beautiful this dog is with his stunning coat and dark eyes with wisdom beyond his years. Once this gorgeous guy gets a sudsy bath and grooming ...he will absolutely be one of the most adorable dogs around. At just about 10 months old Alvin is such a perfect age..old enough to be past his babyish behaviors and young enough to have many, many healthy and active years remaining. At 22 lbs, Alvin is a perfect size to accompany his family just about anywhere a very sweet smaller dog is welcome while being large enough to be an active best friend enjoying the gorgeous hiking trails of Colorado. Alvin is every bit the young pup...fun, active and happy once comfortable in his environment. But at the same time he a is sweet as can be guy (once he's used to his environment) who is engaging, very loving and a perfect full-time companion. Alvin is very likely to express himself with his wagging tail and excited kisses of love for those who are kind to him. At this early point in Alvin's development, he loves almost everyone..be it human or canine. We want to nurture this positive vision of the world by matching Alvin to a family who expresses their devotion for him in many different ways. We'd like Alvin to attend in-person or virtual positive reinforcement / force-free obedience classes to be the very best adult dog he's capable of being. We also feel Alvin will be most comfortable with an adult family or one with older, dog-crazy kids. We wouldn't want tail pulling or awkward handling by very young children. Right now, Alvin is a blank slate who will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved and most cuddly guy around. Alvin is so loyal that he can easily be a constant companion. He would love nothing more than being together enjoying and learning from his family. Trips to the store (he's a great window-shopping friend), lap-sitting or a place on the couch for movie-watching with belly rubs..all would be perfect for Alvin's sweet personality once he's comfortable in his environment. Alvin has the stunning coat and cottony-soft hair that speaks of his breed mix. He will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. A daily salmon oil supplement and 5 star food will be excellent choices for Alvin's coat care and longevity to keep his hair cottony-soft and shining with good health. Alvin has been fully vetted and vaccinated to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered in recognition of the overpopulation tragedy in the canine population. Alvin will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Saturday 5/3/2025. Applications are currently being accepted for this very sweet, loving 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 Alvin 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.

This little love bug will do great in any home with kids of any age. He is currently living with multiple sizes of dogs and does great.

LeBowski is a 3 year old English bulldog mix. He is so sweet and affectionate. He just sits down by anyone that will pet him, he is great out in public places meeting dogs and people. He absolutely loves to go to the breweries with us and does amazing! So far he has gotten along well with all the dogs he has met but he is not playful with dogs. He really just ignores the other dogs and enjoys spending his time with people. He does get a little jealous when you are petting another dog and not him so he would probably love to be an only dog but like I said is very good around other dogs, just need a little work on that. He absolutely loves kids! He is very quiet, rarely barks. Crate trained, loves walks and car rides! He is the best looking boy and gets attention everywhere we go!. But if you can't stand a drooly dog he is not for you. He is neutered and up to date on shots. No known health issues.

Penny, is the most amazing little girl that we saved from a kill shelter in California. She was a staff favorite and she gets along great with all the dogs she has met so far. She mostly just wants affection and will follow you around and just sit by her human. She really couldn't be sweeter and she loves kids as well! She walks well on the leash.

Story
** If you are interested in adopting Henry, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ ** Meet Henry! Henry is a joyful little guy with a big heart and a bounce in his step! This 1-year-old Boston Terrier / Chihuahua mix weighs just 15 pounds but brings a whole lot of love and personality wherever he goes. Henry had been with his person since he was just six months old. She initially took him in to dogsit, but his original owner never returned. So, she gave Henry a home and loved him deeply for the next six months. However, she was disabled, couldn't walk him, and in her later 70's and it became clear that she could no longer keep up with Henry’s youthful energy and playful spirit. With a heavy heart and through tears, she made the difficult decision to surrender him to a shelter in New Mexico, hoping he could find a new home where he would truly thrive. From Henry's foster: * * * * "Here is an update and some notes on Henry! He is totally house broken, zero accidents or marking in the house. He is great with other dogs and plays and snuggles and shares the home wonderfully with my dog! He also LOVES people!!!!! He wiggles and says hello to anyone we pass on walks, and loves my teenage boys. He is very affectionate! Loves cuddling. 10/10 cuddle rating. Really sweet personality! Everyone likes him. He is doing totally fine with our busy, loud family environment. Our 13 year old had 4 friends over for a birthday party sleepover, so lots of people bustling around the house and talking loudly, and Henry did great. He does pretty good on leash, but he will try to chase squirrels and bunnies on walks. He is currently a medium paced walker. He does a little huff if he sees another dog out on walks, but he's a total faker because when they get close enough he stops and instead starts to wiggle and makes friends with them. He is very treat motivated. I taught him to truly 'sit' easily. He is getting along great with my dog, lots of playing followed by lots of napping, then repeat. There was one small disagreement between the two of them over a bully stick, but they've been totally fine sharing toys, beds, etc - the two of them even having fun playing tug with toys. He seems unfamiliar with cats. Hard to tell if he could learn to be ok with cats or not just yet. Possible, but I'm not sure. He's doing fine with my chickens who are separated but visible. Sometimes he is interested in them, but not hyper focusing on them and easily distracted away. Chases squirrels in the yard. He has been sleeping in the crate like a pro. The crate faces my bed and he is fine being in the crate when he knows I'm nearby. He even goes in the open crate to lay down in his bed when I'm just doing things upstairs. The couple of times we left the dogs alone he was left free roaming and did fine as far as I can tell, no potty accidents or destruction. I tried using a puppy pen when he first arrived because we had to go out for a couple hours that evening, but he climbed right out. With that information, he very likely, he would be able to climb out of those 3-ish-ft high chain link type fences that some yards have. He hasn't shown any signs of trying to escape my yard, but I have a 6-ft fence and I have never left him alone out there. I sit out back while the dogs play in the yard so he knows I am right there. I have a feeling his escape artist tendencies are brought on by feeling left behind and trying to go find his people. That said, he should never ever be left unattended in anyone's yard, and can NOT go to a home that has a doggy door. Bonus things that I love about him: He looks like a big dog, but he's SO little!!! I feel like his photos don't do justice on how small he is! He's chill enough to be held like a baby - he totally passes the dangle test! He has a silly, adorable face! He has extremely soft ears. He has adorable pink toe beans and a cool spotted belly." * * * * We'd like to place Henry 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 for a young guy whose self-esteem will fly high while he masters his 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. Henry has been fully vetted, he is in great health, up to date on his vaccines, and 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. 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/ . **PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application.
