Services
Dog Rescue
We rescue hundreds of urgent dogs each year from highkill shelters across four southern states. These dogs are placed directly into foster homes where they receive daily care, socialization, and medical attention. Our rescue efforts ensure each animal receives a safe transition toward permanent adoption.
Adoption Program
We operate an adoption program that matches prospective owners with dogs living in foster homes. Applicants complete a detailed application, allowing us to assess compatibility and ensure lasting placements. Successful adoptions result in lifelong homes while keeping our foster network focused on rescuing more animals.
Foster Care
Our foster care system places rescued dogs in volunteer homes where they receive individualized attention and training. Foster families provide daily care, socialization, and health monitoring, preparing dogs for adoption. By expanding our foster network, we increase rescue capacity and reduce reliance on shelter facilities.
Pet Boutique
We operate a boutique offering oneofakind collars, harnesses, leashes, treats, natural premium food, and durable toys. All products are carefully selected for quality, safety, and to meet the needs of Boulders pet community. Customers enjoy personalized service from knowledgeable staff who understand both fashion and nutrition for pets.
Pet Nutrition
We provide premium pet foods and snacks that are nutritionally balanced and sourced from reputable producers. Our selection includes natural, grainfree options and treats designed to support health at every life stage. Pet owners receive expert guidance to choose the right diet, enhancing wellbeing and longevity.

Just adopted a sweet Puggle from their rescue. It was a great experience with great communication with the staff. Update: After a few weeks we had to make the difficult decision to not continue with the adoption. The staff was kind and understanding with the desire for what's best for the dogs, and found her a new forever home. I am thankful for the experience and working with such good people.

Extremely bigoted and hateful. The entire time I was in the store I felt nothing but unwelcome. For a place that says they support rescues, they don't seem to respect or care about anyone. My dog wouldn't even want to go here.

Went to Farfel's with my daughter and her husband to pick up their newly adopted dog. Nice storefront and retail store run by people passionate about finding good forever homes for good dogs! It was a great experience!

I currently am a Foster parent and this is the best rescue I have ever worked through! Supportive and informative they provide me with everything and more to provide a loving and caring foster home for amazing 4-legged friends.

The people are wonderful and really care about the rescues. They carefully evaluate people to make sure they are a great fit for the animal. They also operate a wonderful pet store with lots of goodies and great customer service.

I just got word that you guys are taking sweet Honey from Houston. I found her abandoned and amazing Monica coordinated all of this. She will get to live her best life in the mountains and with caring people! Makes my heart so happy! Everyone will get a ton of puppy kisses when she gets there

I adopted from Farfel's Farm & Rescue 2 weeks ago and was extremely satisfied with their communication and assistance. The application is extensive which I appreciate because it shows they really care about who is adopting their dogs and that they want to ensure they make a correct match. Once mine was accepted, an employee Hope reached out to let me know I was approved. She was extremely friendly, supportive and answered all my questions.
Even after I picked up my dog she was super responsive to my random dog questions that probably weren't even her job to answer (I've never had a dog before so had lots of random questions!). They also cover the shots & spay through my adoption fee which is extremely helpful. I would 100% recommend adopting from Farfel's and commend Hope for being so helpful to me in this special time in my life! Thank you Farfel's & Hope!
