Chihuahua and Dachshund Dogs Available for Adoption in Boulder, Colorado

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

Meet Kimmie! Kimmie is an adorable 8 lb Chihuahua / Dachshund mix with a big personality packed into a tiny body. She is believed to be around 10 months old.

This sweet little girl was picked up as a stray in Houston, TX and brought into a large, high kill shelter; an overwhelming and scary place for such a small pup! Thankfully, we were able to get her out just in time. Now she’s safe, loved, and headed to Colorado to start the happy new chapter she deserves!

Kimmie is a friendly, social pup who enjoys both people and other dogs. She has a playful, happy spirit and loves being included in whatever her people are doing, whether that’s going for a walk, snuggling on the couch, or just hanging out at home.

Kimmie would do well in a home with another friendly dog to play with, but she could also thrive as a solo pup with plenty of attention and companionship.

Because she’s still young, we'd like to place Kimmie in a home where she'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. 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.

Kimmie is up to date on her vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is spayed.

Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. 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 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.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

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!
