Gibby is an adorable Yorkie / Chihuahua mix. He is 3 years old and 11 lbs of cute, scruffiness.
Gibby found himself in an overcrowded, scary, high-kill shelter in Houston, and Farfel's was reached out to to help this sweet guy. He arrived to our rescue in September and was adopted. However, Gibby's family adopted a baby recently (we were not made aware of this plan when they adopted Gibby from us) and now Gibby is being returned because he does not do well with younger kids. However Gibby's foster home has teenage kids (12, 14, and 17) and he does great with them!
From Gibby's foster:
* * * *
"Gibby is super sweet and well behaved. He is good with our pre-teens and teens and other dogs, and sleeps all night and stays in his crate whenever we have to go out very well.
He loves cuddles, food, and squeaky toys. He does his business outside 9 times out of 10! He loves being around humans and is super friendly.
He loves going for walks, and he's very fast even with his short little legs. He met my neighbor's dog while on-leash and was totally chill. He did great when my sister's dog came over too. He is good with our dog, although he does guard his bully sticks so we give them treats and meals separate from each other.
He has been very close to my braver cat who was laying still on the floor and he just looked at her. I think he probably would chase if she had run, but I was impressed that he didn't bark or charge her!
He is food motivated.
He's an adorable, friendly, cuddly, silly little dog!"

Farfel's Rescue and our Texas rescue partners would love to see Gibby in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.
We'd like to place Gibby 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.
Gibby has been fully vetted, and he is in great health, up to date on his shots, 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.
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.

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.

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.
