Meet Yuki! Yuki is a 3-year-old, 57 lb Weimaraner / Labrador Retriever mix who recently made his way to Colorado after being found as a stray in Houston. This sweet boy has already shown what a loving and gentle soul he is. He is SUCH a good boy!

From Yuki's foster:

"Yuki (or Yuki Pookie as my kids call him) is the sweetest boy and best snuggler you will ever meet. He is a really extremely GOOD dog!! Like unbelievably good! He is so gentle and sweet with our kids, (10 & 11) and he is BEST friends with our dog. He is FULLY potty trained also. I mean he is the full package!!!
(He even had an upset tummy last week from too many treats, and woke me up to tell me he had to go potty!!)

He is super smart and knows "sit" and "lay down" and "shake". He is so smart and easy to train.

He will cuddle with you on the couch or bed or anywhere and make satisfied sighing noises when he snuggles in that will melt your heart. Yuki is an equal opportunity cuddler and will love snuggles and pets from all household members and more. He even sleeps under the covers with our kid, with his head on the pillow!

Yuki loves to romp with other dogs and is playful and funny. He would do great in a forever home with another playful dog. He is a little too interested in our cats, so shouldn't go to a home with cats. But he LOVES other dogs and playing and snuggling with them.

Yuki LOVES people and LOVES other dogs.

If we go on walks he will bark at people or other dogs from a distance. He just gets excited to see friends and wants to go say hi. Because of this, he would do best in a home with a big yard where he can run and play instead of needing to go on walks. But, if/when we do need to walk him, luckily he is very food motivated and very smart and learning fast to look at me for a treat instead of bark when he sees something exciting."

Yuki arrived to Farfel’s Rescue from Houston in early October after a tough start on the hot Texas streets, where he was underweight and had thinning hair. With lots of love and care in his foster home, he’s completely blossomed — his coat is now soft and shiny, and he’s at a healthy, happy weight!

We'd like to place Yuki in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group 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.

Yuki is healthy, up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, and is neutered.

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.

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 Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The Weimaraner is a graceful and noble breed known for its distinctive silver gray coat and striking light eyes. Originally bred in Germany for hunting large game such as deer, boar, and bear, Weimaraners are versatile working dogs that excel in various roles, including hunting, tracking, search and rescue, and as loving companions. With their high energy levels and intelligence, Weimaraners require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive and make loyal, affectionate family pets.

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!
