Story
***PLEASE NOTE*** This is just a courtesy post: Freyja is NOT with Farfel’s Farm & Rescue. Please do not inquire or apply through Farfel’s — this is a courtesy post to help Freyja’s owner find her a new home. For all inquiries, please contact Sara at sara406368@gmail.com OR (970) 658-0470. Her rehoming fee is $150 through her current owner. Freyja is a gorgeous 6-year-old, 50 lb Ridgeback / Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her ears. She’s incredibly sweet, deeply affectionate, and will gladly trade belly rubs for unconditional love. A world-class cuddler, Freyja loves nothing more than curling up beside you on the couch after a fun day of sniffing and exploring the outdoors. This smart, soulful girl adores people and warms up quickly with a gentle, patient approach. Once she trusts you (which doesn’t take long!), she’s all about love, loyalty, and snuggles. She’s house-trained, healthy, and happiest when she has room to run and a cozy spot to nap beside her human. Freyja’s Perfect Home: Freyja thrives in a calm, consistent environment and would do best as the only dog in the home. She can be nervous around other dogs and needs an experienced, confident owner who can help her continue to thrive using positive reinforcement. She would do well in an adult home or one with older children (12+). She’s done well with cats she’s lived with, though she may show prey drive with unfamiliar ones. Freyja is used to sleeping near her person — either in an open crate or near the bed — and finds comfort in being close to those she trusts. She’s got a big personality and an even bigger heart, and with the right home, she’ll be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever ask for. Why She’s Being Rehomed: This decision comes with a heavy heart. Freyja is deeply loved, and if circumstances hadn’t changed, she would never be leaving her current home. After moving in with a partner and their dogs, the multi-dog environment has proven too stressful for her. She deserves a peaceful, loving forever home where she can be the center of attention. If you’re a kind, experienced dog lover looking for a sweet, sensitive girl to share your life with, Freyja may be your perfect match. She has so much love to give — she just needs the right person to give it to. Please share to help Freyja find her forever home! She’s spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on her vaccinations.

Farfel's Farm & Rescue often helps dogs outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website as a resource to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Farfel's Farm & Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these dogs, so no information about a courtesy post dog is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter.

Ophelia

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, Adult
Lafayette, CO

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ophelia is a very sweet girl, but there are 2 things influencing our difficult decision to try to re-home her: 1-When we downsized last fall we no longer have a big fenced yard and she's simply too big and strong (and headstrong) for my wife to safely walk her and my wife has some health issues such that we simply don't want to risk her doing dog walks and getting pulled down. 2-Multiple people in the extended family don't completely trust her around our toddler granddaughter. She's never bitten, but she has sort of snarled inappropriately. She gets along totally fine with adults and larger kids (like our elementary school age grandkids) and other dogs and it's a bit of a mystery to us because every dog we've ever had previously knows how to deal with toddlers and be patient with 'human puppies'. We're erring on the side of caution and respecting the wishes of the toddler's mother.

Story
Cardi is a darling gentle giant with the sweetest soul. This lovely girl is affectionate, calm, and loves being close to her people. She has lived successfully with other dogs before, though she can feel a little nervous when meeting new dogs at first and may just need a bit of time and patience to warm up. Once she feels safe, her soft, loving personality really shines. If you’re looking for a big, sweet companion with an even bigger heart, Cardi might be your girl!* Previous owner said she likes to chase cats

Story
Pryncess may have a name fit for a throne, but she’s actually a very modest and quiet girl. She is a shy-but-sweet soul who prefers to observe from the sidelines until she knows she’s safe. Once she trusts you, however, she reveals her true colors—a devoted, tender-hearted companion who will follow you with quiet loyalty. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to reserve me for an appointment. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice monthly. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual. We will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For long distance transports to Colorado and Iowa, there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veterinarian ($35). For transports to St. Louis, the additional fee is $50 to help cover gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! All of our pets are neutered or spayed, have vaccinations appropriate for their age, treated with flea/tick/heartworm prevention, dewormed and dogs are also microchipped. #adoptdontshop ##2674221##

Story
Meet Kari – Black Mouth Cur / Carolina Dog Mix Birthday: 6/15/2023 Weight: 40 pounds Gender: Female Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and spayed Kari is a joyful, affectionate girl with a playful spark that lights up any room. She loves exploring the outdoors, sniffing out adventures, and then winding down with cuddles when it’s time to relax. Kari is the perfect combination of energetic and loving—she’ll happily run and play with you, then curl up by your side as your loyal companion. Breed Info: As a Black Mouth Cur / Carolina Dog mix, Kari blends intelligence, loyalty, and adventurous spirit. Black Mouth Curs are known for their protectiveness, energy, and strong bond with their family, while Carolina Dogs are independent, alert, and highly intelligent. At 40 pounds, Kari is a medium-sized dog who will thrive with both mental and physical stimulation. She is social, affectionate, and loves being included in family life. Owner’s Responsibilities: Daily walks, playtime, and mental enrichment. Consistent training using positive reinforcement. Regular vet care, grooming, and a healthy diet. Things to Consider: Ensure your home and landlord allow medium-sized dogs—some rentals restrict breeds like hers. Kari will need time, attention, and patience as she adjusts to her new family. Be prepared for lifelong love, care, and commitment. The 3-3-3 Rule: Kari may need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to fully feel at home. Vet Care: Kari is healthy, vaccinated, and spayed, but it’s important to see your own vet after adoption to establish ongoing care. Commitment for Life: Adopting Kari means being her forever family, loving her through all stages of life—from playful adventures to calm, relaxing days at home. Why Kari Would Be a Great Addition: Kari is the perfect blend of playful energy and heartfelt affection. She will bring joy, laughter, and companionship to her forever family. Her loyalty and love will make her not just a pet, but a true member of your family—someone who will be by your side through every adventure and every quiet moment.   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.
