Bart - Hound and Beagle Dog for Adoption in Boulder, Colorado

Bart is a sweet, sweet, sweet 9 year old, 60 lb Hound mix with the most lovable personality. Even though this handsome guy is 9, he still has plenty of spunk left in him! Bart loves to play, gets adorable goofy bursts of energy, and is truly one of the funniest, friendliest dogs you could ever meet. One minute he's happily trotting around with a toy or bouncing around the yard, and the next he's curled up on the couch, perfectly content to be your snuggle buddy.

Barts story is one that really sticks with you. He came into a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Houston, Texas after his owner passed away. Bart was found alone in the home, mourning the loss of his beloved human mom. He was then brought to the shelter, where he sadly ended up on the euthanasia list simply because there wasn't enough space.

While we cant know every detail of Barts past, its obvious he was deeply loved. He arrived at the shelter in wonderful condition, which tells us he spent his life as someones cherished companion and best friend.

Despite everything he's been through, Bart has remained incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of love. He's the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people, quietly soaking up affection and giving it right back. You can truly feel how much he misses having a home and family to call his own.

From Barts foster:

"Bart is SUCH a good boy! He is amazing with our kids (9 & 13) and absolutely adores them. He's so patient, loving, and gentle with them, and honestly just wants to be everyones best friend. He also gets along wonderfully with both of our dogs and has fit into our home so easily.

Bart walks well on leash and enjoys going for walks, but he's also a professional couch potato and loves lounging around and snuggling. One of the cutest things about him is that he'll suddenly get these playful little bursts of energy where he gets goofy, playful, and makes us laugh so hard. He really is such a funny, happy-go-lucky guy.

He sleeps through the night in a dog bed next to our bed, is potty trained, and rides great in the car too. Everywhere he goes, he just wants to say hi to everyone because he is SO incredibly friendly and sweet."

Bart is ready for a fresh start...a soft place to land where he can feel safe, loved, and never alone again. He has so much love left to give, and we would truly love to see him spend his golden years exactly where he belongs: in a warm, caring home surrounded by people who adore him.

Farfel's Rescue has made the decision that we'd like to see Bart in a home with loving and devoted retirees that spends lots of time at home, or enjoy taking their furry best friend along on their adventures. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a good choice for this people-loving guy. Bart is a perfect take-along guy. He enjoys the car and is very happy riding in the back seat so he can watch the activity going on outside the window..

Bart is at his absolute best with dog-crazy adults. He's much more comfortable with their quiet energy. A walk followed by time on the couch watching a favorite TV show would speak to this sweet dog. He would be overjoyed to be part of a loving and responsible family.

Bart has been fully vetted, vaccinated and neutered to support Farfel's commitment to excellent health in our dogs and zero population growth in the canine community.

Our wonderful Bart is looking for his forever home now. If interested in this beautiful and very cuddly 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 Bart please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue!

The Beagle is a beloved breed known for its friendly nature, curious personality, and distinctive howl. These small to medium sized dogs are incredibly sociable and get along well with both humans and other pets. Beagles are curious and energetic, always eager to follow a scent with their incredible sense of smell, making them excellent hunting and tracking dogs. Their short coat is easy to maintain, and they are adaptable to various living environments, making them popular companions for families and individuals alike.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.

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!
