Ellie

There's nothing quite like the fun and silliness of a sweet puppy...and then they put their heads quietly on your shoulder breathing their warm baby breath. These very loving puppies are so pure and vulnerable that it's unbearable to think of them homeless and hungry or in a high-kill shelter with euthanasia pending due to a lack of space.<br/><br/>Ellie, at just about 3 months old and 20 lbs (anticipated to be approximately 50 lbs or so when full-grown) was facing the end of her life before it ever began. Farfel's Texas rescuers are compassionate and loving and couldn't turn their backs on this gorgeous girl with the great temperament. They rescued Ellie just in the nick of time to spare her life.<br/><br/>Ellie is believed to be an Australian Shepherd / Labrador mix. Of course, rescues do not DNA test, so this is just an educated guess. <br/><br/>Sweet Ellie is starting out with great energy. The excellent results of her temperament-testing ended with a transport ticket to Colorado and a brand new life. She's also very beautiful with gorgeous bright blue eyes displaying wisdom far beyond her years.<br/><br/>Ellie is appropriately playful and inquisitive for her young age. She's also so loving and cuddly. This little girl would be very excited to be a couch potato and snuggle with her favorite people at the end of an active day. She's also SO smart and engaging. <br/><br/>Since Ellie is just a young pup, she's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show her the way. She has all the potential in the world to be an awesome family companion. Ellie will form firm bonds with her family (as well as other dogs and humans) and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement training classes. This training experience will make a profound difference in a dog's behavior and their relationship with their people. It does take time and commitment yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior.<br/><br/>We feel very strongly that every dog and their family deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Ellie out to a home that doesn't choose to offer her this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free trainers in your area.<br/><br/>We're open to Ellie finding her forever home with a retired couple or individual with lots of energy to train and enjoy a silly and super-smart pup. Ellie enjoys her relationships with all humans and dogs, we would prefer however, to place her in a home with older kids only (tail pulling or rough treatment by young kids will create an adult dog that's fearful of children). Older kids can also be active participants in a training regimen and friendship that's so important in a dog's development. Ellie enjoys her relationships with other dogs as well and would love playing hard and enjoying the sunshine with a canine friend on a beautiful day.<br/><br/>Ellie will be up to date on her vetting / vaccinations to be in line with our commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. Ellie is too young to be spayed, but Farfel's covers the full cost of her spay at 6 months of age. No adoption is final until her spay in complete.<br/><br/>Ellie will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 5/29/2026. Applications are currently being accepted for this beautiful, very 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.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Ellie 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.
