My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

***If you're interested in adopting Scarlet, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. ***

Meet Scarlet! This adorable, 1 year old pup has a story of resilience and hope. Scarlet was found wandering alone on a sidewalk in Houston, TX. A kind stranger brought her to a local shelter, but unfortunately, it was a high-kill facility where few dogs get a second chance. Thankfully, we received an urgent plea to save her life—and how could we resist this sweet, lovable girl?

Scarlet weighs 19 lbs and is believed to be a Dachshund / Beagle mix. She’s a perfect blend of two beloved breeds, with her long body, soulful eyes, and happy-go-lucky personality.

Here’s what Scarlet’s foster has to say: “Oh my gosh, this little long-bodied girl is absolutely gorgeous! She’s all hugs, kisses, and wiggles!”

Scarlet loves meeting people and gets along well with other dogs. Like many dogs, she may be a bit shy at first in a new home, but her friendly, joyful nature will shine through as she settles in.

While we don’t know if Scarlet has had any formal training, she’s the perfect age to learn! Positive reinforcement training helps build trust, confidence, and lifelong good behavior. Farfel’s requires adopters to commit to a training program—whether virtual or in-person—to ensure a successful transition for Scarlet and her new family. We provide every adopter with recommendations for highly regarded, force-free trainers in your area.

Scarlet is fully vetted and up-to-date on all vaccinations. She is not yet spayed, but her spay surgery will be covered by Farfel’s Rescue and is required to be completed within one month of adoption. No adoption is final until the dog is spayed, per Colorado law.

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.


**PLEASE NOTE**. If you're truly interested in adopting Alfie please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue!

Additional adoption info

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.

An Adoption Application and an Adoption Contract must be completed before any dog can begin their one week foster. Our average adoption fee is $695. This amount serves to cover vetting, spay/neuter, all vaccinations, temperament testing, transport, a microchip, harness, food, and treats.
Our dogs come from Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and rural Colorado.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Pets are transported from the southern states every week. Almost 100% of the time, the dogs are spoken for as a result of adoption applications that can be referenced under Adoption at farfelsrescue.com. We study the applications. If the app indicates there is a match, followed up by a home visit and reference checks, the process moves to the next step. The adopter is committing to a one week foster (of course the dog can be returned at any time prior), and can then choose to finalize the adoption.

More about this rescue

We own a pet boutique named Farfel's Farm & Rescue on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado. We have had the good fortune to find our niche in the Boulder community and experience success. We felt it very important to "pay it forward" in gratitude. We couldn't think of a better endeavor than to save dogs who were out of time in the southern states, yet had been identified with great temperaments. We dedicate our efforts to their good health and ultimate wonderful, permanent homes.
