Whenever a sweet and engaging rescue dog gets into an urgent situation, Farfel's rescuers like to help. We find that many of the dogs that are relinquished to a high-kill shelter or found as strays are very loving with excellent temperaments.. and ultimately make awesome family companions.
Ireland is one of these wonderful dogs that was turned into a terrifying Texas shelter. Personnel described her in the following way:
We couldn't help oohing and aahing over sweet Ireland the moment she arrived at animal control. She just has that very gentle spirit with a positive attitude and a real love of life!, This gorgeous girl is always up for fun whether it's exploring the great outdoors or showing off all her training skills.
Ireland 's soft nature isn't meant for harsh shelter life and she was understandably frightened. When Farfel's Rescue spoke up to save Ireland's precious life, she was removed from the shelter environment and now has got plenty of wag in her step and a ton of love to share. This irresistible girl is engaging, affectionate, and always ready to make new friends—whether human or canine. Ireland’s resilience and optimism make her a true survivor and a constant reminder that a little adversity can’t keep an awesome dog down!
Ireland is a darling 10 month old, 30lb Jack Russell Terrier / Smooth Fox Terrier mix with a heart overflowing with love and a zest for life. The shelter had to amputate the tip of Ireland's tail due to an injury, but not for her to care..her gentle and loving personality are always present and she can wag her back end with the best of them!
The shelter veterinarian identified Ireland as a 10ish month old, 30 lb Jack Russell Terrier with a bit of smooth-coated Fox Terrier in the mix for extra cuteness. We can't speak to the accuracy of this breed mix (although we can see both breeds in this beautiful girl)...what we can speak to is her sweetness and her value as a wonderful family companion.
Ireland (once comfortable in her environment) is very puppyish in her enthusiasm for all people that are kind to her. She has a love of life and positive attitude that touches the heart. After all, his very deserving girl has never had a loving and nurturing family to call her own. She has been a victim of circumstance in her life. Farfel's Rescue is committed to changing the trajectory for this awesome dog that has so much love to offer a committed family.
Rescue dogs can initially be a bit shy or nervous in their new homes. This is expected in light of the very long transports and stresses of rehoming. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time is perfect for our wonderful Ireland. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs are a gift to any dog that is undergoing a life change. If Ireland is initially given the time and space, she will absolutely shine.
Farfel's Rescue has found over time and thousands of rescue dogs that families that attend virtual or in-person training classes with an approved positive reinforcement / force free trainer generally keep their dogs for life. Dogs that don't receive the benefit of proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of being rehomed or far worse, being abandoned. There is a bonding that occurs between a dog and their family through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a pup to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's isn't willing to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to participate in this training relationship. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual and in-person positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.
Ireland is such a great age and size. At almost 1 year old, she is a blank slate and has left her babyish behaviors behind. She is young enough to be open to new behavioral concepts with many, many healthy and active years ahead, Ireland weighs a very desirable 34 lbs. This is a perfect medium size to be able to accompany her family on fun adventures out in the world everywhere that smaller and well-behaved dogs are welcome.
We envision active, dog-crazy retirees for our sweet Ireland. She would respond so well to the love and attention that this group offers. Ireland would also do well with a younger family that works from a home-based office to love her up periodically throughout the day. We feel that our sweet girl is too sensitive to spend long hours alone while her family works full-time outside of the home.
Ireland has a stunning pure white and golden coat that is currently a bit shelter-sad. She will require a lifelong commitment to consistent sudsy baths and brushing with excellent nutrition (5 star food and a daily salmon oil supplement are great lifelong protocols for coat care as well as general longevity) to keep her shining coat super-healthy and cottony-soft.
Ireland will be up to date on her vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs. She has also been spayed to fulfill our promise to work toward a euthanasia-free future in the canine population.

Ireland is arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 2/7/2025. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet pup. If interested in this gorgeous and cuddly best friend, 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 Ireland 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 most 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.

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.

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.
