Winnie - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Boulder, Colorado

** If you are interested in Winnie, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **

There's nothing quite like puppy energy and silliness!
Winnie is a gorgeous 4 month old Blue Heeler mix puppy who is as sweet, smart, and playful as she is adorable! She is 17 lbs, and estimated to be around 50lbs full grown. This beautiful girl is coming to us with her sisters after we rescued them from a high-kill shelter in Texas where we knew these precious puppies simply couldn't stay. Now Winnie is ready to find a family of her very own!

Winnie is a bright little girl who is already showing us that she is going to be a fast learner. Blue Heelers are known for being incredibly intelligent, and Winnie is no exception! She will be a very fun puppy to train! Of course, she is still just 4 months old, so her new family should be prepared for all the normal puppy stuff: potty training, learning manners, teething, chewing, and figuring out the world one adventure at a time!

Personality wise, Winnie is a total sweetheart. She is very friendly, loves other dogs, and absolutely LOVES to play! She enjoys running around, wrestling with her puppy friends, and generally having the best time wherever she goes. She has that fun, energetic puppy personality that will keep her family laughing and entertained.

Winnie would love an active home that wants a dog who can grow up alongside them and be part of the fun. She'll need plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and continued training as she grows. A doggy sibling who enjoys playing would be a wonderful bonus!

Winnie is going to make an amazing companion for someone who is ready for the commitment and adventure of raising a puppy. She's smart, affectionate, social, and absolutely precious, and we can't wait to watch her grow into the incredible dog we know she can be.

Winnie would do great in a home with someone who works from home, and has the time and energy to train a young puppy. We would feel comfortable with her going to a family with kids 6+ years of age.

Since Winnie is just a puppy, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. We are not willing to adopt to someone who is unable to commit to taking Winnie to puppy socialization classes and training.

Winnie has been fully vetted, and is in great health. She has received her first 2 (of 3) puppy shots, and her rabies, and bordatella. Being so young, will still need one more booster shot before she can go out on public ground / adventures.
Rain is also too young to be spayed at this time. Farfel's does not cover any vaccines after pick up, however we DO cover the full cost of her spay when that time comes. Winnie is too young to be spayed, but when she is 6-8 months old we will cover the full cost.
Spay is REQUIRED to finalize any adoption. Per the state of Colorado, you will be legally considered a foster until the dog is spayed. Spay must be done before or by the time she turns 1 year old, NO later.

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.

Winnie is available for adoption now!
If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving 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 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 we have to determine a great match for this very deserving pup. 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.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.

The Border Collie is a highly intelligent and energetic dog breed known for their herding capabilities and exceptional obedience. Originating from the border regions of Scotland and England, these agile and versatile dogs are famous for their focus, stamina, and trainability. With their striking black and white coat and intense gaze, Border Collies excel in various canine sports and activities, making them ideal companions for active families and individuals seeking a loyal and dynamic pet.

Farfel’s Farm & Rescue was founded on the idea that each dog deserves a loving home and the chance for a happy life. We are so thrilled to be able to rescue these amazing dogs from urgent situations in Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas and Cancun, Mexico. Working with a dedicated team of volunteers, the dogs are pulled from high-kill shelters because they’ve been recognized for the gifts they will bring to a loving family. They are then transported by specially licensed vans to Colorado for a second chance at life. The dogs are evaluated and treated for any medical issues before being transitioned to their new family, where they can become accustomed to having a family’s love, a warm bed and plenty of healthy food!
