Yorkie puppies and dogs in Boulder, Colorado

Buddy is a one year-old Yorkshire terrier. He came to our family from a reputable Yorkie breeder in the Denver area. Buddy is very loving and wants to be with his people. He loves lots of pets, sitting on laps, playing in the yard and a good squeaky toy. He is good with our other dog and three young children. Buddy's only problem is he was born with a heart murmur. He still runs, jumps and plays like any other dog but may need medication in the future. Buddy is not neutered and could be used to breed full-bred Yorkshire terriers for up to $2,500 per dog. The only reason we are surrendering Buddy is his owner was my elderly father who can no longer care for him.

***Due to an overwhelming response, we are pausing applications on Nicolas to review those already submitted. Please watch our page as we will be posting more littles over the next few days. Thank you!*** Nicolas is a 1-2 year old Terrier mix, likely with some Yorkie. He found himself at Beeville Animal Control after a Good Samaritan witnessed him being abused by unhoused person. Unfortunately this sweetie sat there for two weeks and nobody claimed him. Since they only have 5-6 kennels he would quickly lose his spot be euthanized for space, so our rescuer stepped in and saved him. Nicolas is very playful and just wants to play all the time. He does have an off switch when you put him in his kennel. He is submissive with other dogs. He has an affinity for squeaky toys, perhaps too much? This good boy is good on leash, potty trained (he was marking before his neuter), good with kids, and would make a great apartment dog. The only thing that makes him just below perfect, is he needs to be monitored outside or he will dig a hole to freedom! Nicolas is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring him up and into their home- the next transport arrives January 9th! ***Nicolas 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).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa. 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. ##2614911##

****PLEASE NOTE; Maisy and Millie are a BONDED PAIR. They are bonded to each other and must be adopted together.**** Maisy and Millie are a bonded pair of sweet, 4 year old girls believed to be Maltese/Yorkie mixes. While we don’t DNA test our rescue dogs, this is an educated guess based on their appearance and size. Maisy weighs about 8 lbs and Millie about 9 lbs. These two girls were found living on the streets of Houston before ending up in a large, overcrowded, and very scary shelter. When they arrived, both were covered in painful mats, had overgrown nails, and were understandably frightened and unsure in the shelter environment. Once they made it to Colorado, we had them groomed and they immediately began feeling more comfortable and at ease. Maisy and Millie are gentle, sensitive souls who simply need time and patience to feel safe. They are incredibly sweet, just a bit unsure as they adjust to all the changes they’ve been through. They are currently in a foster home decompressing and learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. Maisy (the one wearing the orange harness in their photos) is the more outgoing and social of the two. While the Houston vet estimated both girls to be around 4 years old, we wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually mother and daughter, with Maisy being Millie’s mom. Millie is the more timid of the pair and often looks to Maisy for comfort and reassurance. Both girls can be picked up and have their harnesses put on without issue, but they aren’t quite ready to seek out affection on their own just yet. They’re still learning that humans can be trusted and that they’re finally safe. With patience, consistency, and love, they will continue to blossom. Maisy and Millie have been with their foster for about two weeks now, and here’s what their foster has to say about them: From Maisy & Millie's foster: * * * * "Maisy and Millie are incredibly sweet pups learning that the world can be a gentle place. Maisy is the braver of the two and loves attention — she was a bit timid with me at first, so slow and low movements helped in the beginning, but once she’s being pet she absolutely melts and loves kisses. Millie is more timid and prefers to observe before jumping in. She’ll come out of their play pen to say hello and likes being nearby, especially when food is involved. Peanut butter on a finger or mealtime encouragement can help her feel brave enough for pets, even if she freezes while soaking up the love. They are both totally fine with being picked up but it can be scary for them initially and they may freeze when picked up, especially by a stranger. Both girls are incredibly sweet and do well using pee pads, though they’re still learning full potty training. Since they are so nervous, I haven't walked them / taken them outside yet. We just have a safe space (kennel in the living room with their crate and potty pads) for them to decompress until they are fully warmed up. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, Maisy and Millie will continue to gain confidence and make loving, loyal companions. I've had them now for 2 weeks and they're doing amazing! Maisy is the cutest and gets the zoomies when I get home and Millie has started doing it too!! Maisy is totally comfortable with me now and seeks out pets, snuggles, and affection. Millie is getting a LOT more comfortable with me and coming out to see me a lot more, but is still scared easily if I move too fast. I haven't tried walking them yet, and don't feel comfortable taking Millie out until she is totally comfortable with me, but I will take Maisy on her first outing this week and let you know how it goes! Their forever home will just need to be prepared for a slow start with these girls, but just trust the process and give them the safe space that they so deserve!" * * * * Why adopting two can actually be easier than one: Bonded pairs like Maisy and Millie help regulate each other’s emotions. They provide comfort, confidence, and familiarity during transitions, which can actually make the adjustment into a new home smoother. They’re never truly alone, learn routines together, and often experience less anxiety because they have their built-in best friend by their side. Maisy and Millie will require a lifelong commitment to periodic grooming and excellent nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are great choices for hair care and longevity) to keep their coats cottony-soft, matte-free and shining with good health. (Though they are scared, they did great for our groomer and are okay with being held and touched!) We would love to see Maisy and Millie in a home with a individual, couple, or active retirees who have the time and heart for a loyal and loving companion. We'd hate to see them left alone all day while their family works full-time outside of the home. A family that works from a home-based office is a great choice for these sweet dogs. Farfel's Rescue would like to see Maisy and MIllie in a home where they'll get consistent mental stimulation, exercise and tons of loving hugs. A positive reinforcement / force free training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence for these young dogs, whose self-esteems will fly high while they master their skills. Farfel's feels so strongly about a training opportunity for all dogs that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement/force free trainers in your area. Maisy and Millie are both up to date on their vetting and vaccines, and are both spayed and healthy. 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 Maisy and Millie. If interested in this gorgeous pair, 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.
