Auggie could be that dream come true pup for active retirees who love spending their time with a very lovable and super-smart companion. We feel that Auggie would also do well with a younger family with dog-crazy older kids who enjoy the fun and companionship that a sweet dog brings to a family. We'd like only older children in Auggie's family because as a smaller guy, we want to make certain that he's always handled gently and with respect.
Auggie, at a tiny 10 lbs (the perfect portable size to go everywhere a great little dog is welcome) and 10 months old is such a great age, old enough to be beyond babyish behaviors and young enough to have many, many active and healthy years ahead.
Auggie loves playing and once comfortable in his new home, will be entertaining in his silly antics, young energy and the huge love he wants to share with his family.
Auggie's story is all too common. A guardian who can no longer care for a dog and hasn't made any arrangements for their care is often quick to turn to their local shelter for relinquishment. However, luck was with sweet Auggie. He was saved from the shelter due to his adorable looks (these photos don't do his cuteness justice), engaging manner and very sweet and loving personality.
Auggie may initially be a bit uncertain or frightened from his time spent on a very long transport to Colorado but give him just a bit of time (yummy treats are always helpful as well) and he is happy to come closer for a welcome hug. Before you know it, Auggie has jumped into your lap to give and receive love. The Texas rescuers recognized that Auggie is a special little dog. They knew that there is a family out there that will fall in love with this irresistible little guy.
Auggie's sleek coat is currently a bit shelter-sad. Once he's given the gift of great nutrition, his coat will grow in shining and cottony-soft. Research shows that a human-grade diet like Chi Dog Food (chidog.com) can be instrumental in both the wellness and longevity of the dog. With this regimen, Auggie's coat will become cottony-soft and shining with excellent health.
Auggie will do well with a family that's invested in spending time with their pup. He's so pleasant and portable that he can be a fun participant in any adventure. It can be a walk or a hike, a visit with friends, a car ride or just an afternoon spending time together on the couch - all would speak to Auggie's great temperament and love of his family.
Farfel's isn't open to a home where everyone spends their days working full-time outside of the home. Retirees or a younger family that works from a home-based office would be a far better choice for our wonderful pup. He's a sensitive little guy and we'd like him to get more time and attention than is possible with that lifestyle.
Auggie will be up to date on his vetting/vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He'll also be neutered to stay true to Farfel's work to eradicate euthanasia due to overpopulation in the canine population.
Auggie will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 5/10/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this very loving, sweet and loyal best friend. An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.
**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Auggie, 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.
