Moe Border Collie & Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Mix Boulder, CO

Moe was a stray pup who found himself in a rural shelter surrounded by countless other dogs, who just like him, have never known what it is like to have a name. Moe is the name that we gave him, as he did not have one in the shelter. All of the dogs are known as, "Boy" or "Girl," and while this guy will never complain about staff calling him "Good Boy," he can't help but dream for the day he finds himself with a family who will give him a name he doesn't have to share with every other dog around him! Now Moe is with a foster, while he waits for his transport date to Colorado to find his forever home! Moe is super loving in his foster home. He loves going on walks, and playing with his foster doggy brothers! He is very social and loving.

Moe is likely a Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix, according to the vets. With almost any rescue though, breed is  just a guess! Moe is about 1 to 2 years old, and weighs 60 lbs. He is truly a gentle "giant", though he is not that big!

With any rescue, moving from a shelter to a foster to an adoptive home can be very confusing. When an adopting family is sensitive to the challenges of change and acclimation for these dog's, the transition is far easier. A home with a very loving and nurturing family that understands that blossoming takes time would be perfect home for Moe. Socialization, pure love and belly rubs is a gift to a dog that is undergoing a life change. Given the time and space, these dogs shine.

Farfel's Rescue has found over time (we've rescued more than 3,000 dogs over 15 years of rescue) that families that attend level 1 group training classes or address individual challenges at home with one of our approved positive reinforcement/force free trainers keep their dogs for life. Dogs that do not get proper training and socialization have a much higher risk of developing behavioral problems. There is a bonding that occurs through the training process that can't be duplicated. It also teaches behaviors that enable a dog to go out into the world with excellent manners that create a very respectful relationship between dogs and their humans. It is for all these reasons that Farfel's isn't willing to adopt to a family that doesn't choose to create this training relationship. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement/ force-free trainers in your area.

Moe is up to date on his shots, but has yet to be neutered. Farfel's will cover all costs of Moe's neuter! Neuter must be done within one month of adoption. Any adopter who adopts an unfixed dog will be legally considered a foster until the spay/neuter procedure is complete!

**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, Rescueme 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 puppy. We're sorry, but in most 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.
