I love Farfel's Farm and how they take such good care of the dogs and matching them uniquely with the right owner. Much love and respect!!

Adoption prices are exceptional high (not by itself a deal breaker) but this does include full vetting such as a dental if needed. They require $350 of training classes up front in addition to these fees and vet expenses. The dental info is not forth coming and could become a large liability since they reserve the right to remove the dog at their discretion for the life of the pet. They, also, will guarantee heart worm status. In addition, they do not hold a non-profit status. That says a great deal right there. One more insight, at the end of one of their handout about nutrition, they accuse vets for taking money for food recommendations. This is far from the truth, vets receive a discount from most pet food companies for personal pets, only. read more

Short: The owner (Jeff) called to tell us our family was selected to adopt or our wonderful dream dog. After agreeing and sending confirmation that we did want to adopt... They decided to back out gave him to another family Long My wife and I made the wonderful decision to want to grow our family this year. We have been looking for dogs for awhile. After much deliberation and research, we decided an Italian Greyhound would be an excellent fit for the many needs of our little family. We spent time searching for an Italian Greyhound we could rescue, even contacting breed-specific rescues. Even though we are ideal applicants, we were told that these rescues are not receiving the same influx of greyhounds they used to, and we would be waiting YEARS if we were even lucky enough to get one at all. Within 24 hours of this correspondence with this other rescue, they contacted us. They said they had information of an Italian greyhound coming to the state through a different rescue. We were so grateful for their help and felt this was a special, clandestine experience we were having to grow our family. We placed our applications in minutes, called to confirm our family's application, and after a week of waiting I received a call that we were selected. This meant the whole world to our small family and felt like a calling from the universe. Instead, I received radio silence the next day... and was then followed by an email that they would be instead giving the dog to another family , even after we confirmed that we were selected. Why? Because another family (the foster) apparently was more deserving. What a heartbreaking decision by this company. After we have done everything right... the long hours of research, the arduous application, all the hard things to just simply want to grow our family taken away. How can an organization choose to get people's hopes up and break their hearts by saying we "made it"... only to just take it away. It isn't right or fair. read more

Our Little guy Ned was well taken care of.. he needed surgeries and teeth work done, and Farfalles picked up the bill. He lived a happy life with us, we lost him this December. We will be going back to Farfalles. We like they arrange training for their adoptees, which helps them live their best lives. read more

We felt good about adopting our little guy from here. The amount of interview, and detail in their adoption request form were extensive. I appreciate that. They want to make sure that each furry baby goes to a family who will be their forever home. The pup we adopted is fitting in well with our pack and we are so happy to have found our new family member. Thank you Jeff and your team. Great folks that do great work. read more

Great little shop in Boulder with a fantastic selection of unique pet items. We adopted a senior dog from Farfel's and you could tell they truly care about the animals they rescue and re-home. My one concern about the adoption process is that they didn't do a home check before letting us take our little old man home. That seems to be a pretty standard requirement when adopting a new family member. read more

I appreciate the hurdles they want folks to jump over to adopt. They have high standards and don't want rescues back into the system. The process was clear and timely. Holly and Jason were wonderful. read more

Great place friendly and cheery lots of options does great rescue work nice staff and cute dogs

We adopted Ollie (formerly Oreo) from Farfels right around the start of Covid and we couldn't be happier! They are truly a great adoption facility and gave us the best service. The staff were great and very informative with the thousand of questions we had. They really made the adoption process as smooth as could be. When we decide to adopt another dog we will definitely be choosing Farfels again. read more

Visit them if you like to throw away your money in the garbage. LITERALLY! They hold ZERO accountability for the products they sell ( read other reviews on this too) Here is one of my experiences. And, I wish I read & listened to the reviews. Instead of trying to support local rescue. They treat humans like crap. I'm curious about the animals. So first their employee sold me a small bag while calling it large. She had no idea. Since my dog was half out of it. I went back & bought a larger bag. That bag got a rip in less than 2 weeks. So, I went back to exchange. At first, the person behind the counter was like we can do nothing. I reminded her it didn't even last me 2 weeks. I wasn't even asking for my money back I just asked for an exchange. They didn't have the bag I was looking for. I was offered store credit. So, I was told that they can contact the company for an exchange. I chose to exchange. The person behind the counter told me I could keep using it until they get me a replacement. Weeks went by I didn't hear back from them. Then, I went to follow up. I was told they don't know when it's coming, to keep waiting & I will get a call. So, I received a call from the owner who accused me that I was harassing his employees as I went in to inquire about the bag because I didn't hear back from them. Again, he offered a store credit to buy food & treats or wait for an unknown time. I said I will wait. Because, why should I buy food or treats when I'm in the market for a bag. I have the right to spend my money where I need it. Another 2-3 weeks went by & no word from the owner or his employees. So, I went into the store to ask for store credit and return the bag and I was told that it's ripped can't be resold. Therefore, I don't get my money or store credit back. My question- were you planning on selling a back with rip when came back for the first time? They just want your money! Have no morals to stick by their word.my worst experience ever! At no fault of my own, I was pushed to throw away my money in the garbage. They say people forget words but not the way you make someone feel. The customer service I received from them I don't think I would care to support any local businesses again. Thanks to them! No one deserves to be accused of harassment when it's the owner & its employees who failed to do their job about a simple follow-up. Also, if they can't hold accountability for what they are selling maybe they shouldn't be selling those items or have a business at all. After this experience, I must say what goes around comes around! I will never return. Thanks for reading and free to choose if you want to throw away the money or put it in use and shop elsewhere read more

These two little kids are "perfect"! They are so loved and adored...... Bella will be 8 on Aug. 29, and because of the unexpected and devastating death of her brother, Bentley, we chose to rescue instead of going back to our Scotty breeder. I contacted Farfel's Farm and Rescue, and asked Sandy about a shaggy little guy that we fell in love with. Sandy was amazing to talk to and I shared my broken heart with her. Through Sandy, Brody became our new little boy! We needed him as much as he needed us! We don't know Brody's actual birth date, so he will share and celebrate Bella's day, Aug. 29. We are guessing this will be his 2nd birthday! Here's to celebrating many birthdays together! There are no words to thank Sandy and Farfel's for this precious gift! read more

Just wanted to update my experience with an adoption. After expensive Board and Train and now a Certified Vet in Castle Pines, (, 6,months) one of only 70 in the U. S., my guy is slowly improving. The first 6 months were awesome, but after leaving for an overseas vacation all hell broke out. He's seeing the behavioral vet as his aggression was escalating. He's still in training in Castle Pines, is on medication, and I am approaching $6,000 in a year and a half. I was told that after 6 months of all going well, it was too late, nothing Farfels could do. After research, veterinarian and trainer consultations I learned aggression can be an issue with this breed if you don't know the parents. I sent info to Farfels, but was told this had never happened with all the Aussies they have rescued. This is my 4th dog, and 4th rescue. In the future I will adopt from a rescue that really vets behavior and or comes from a foster situation where information on the dog can be provided, not 30 mins. after a long, stressful drive to Colorado. Most adopters here have a great experience and I am happy for them. Others, like my friend who I highly recommended, fell into the "secret" place where suddenly dogs were unavailable and told waiting for an application. (The policy is no adoption without application.) For me, the risk is too high. I am not a rich person, but love and am dedicated to animals. Now I await the expected rebuttal. read more

Highly recommended! Farfel's Farm does amazing rescue work! We adopted our pup Hayduke from them in June and had a great experience with Hope and the rescue team. Their storefront on Pearl St. in Boulder is really fun, too. read more

*FAREL'S IS OPEN AND OPERATING* Sandy, Jeff, Aurora, and Hope helped me make the best decision ever. Spoke personally with all four through the adoption process and was impressed with the amount of vetting they do to ensure the adopters are the right fit.

Farfel's Farm & Rescue - Crete, my handsome boy. - Pet Stores Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We adopted our dog, Yoda, from Farfel's Farm and Rescue. Jeff and Sandy are amazing! They are so kind and love animals so much. To those people who have tried to adopt a pet from Farfel's with no luck or even a response, you need to understand that only 3 people are working the rescue end of things and they have to wade through a good 30 to 40 applications per dog. Our Yoda was so popular, Sandy told me he had over 100 applications! He went with a different family at first, and I in fact never heard from Farfel's regarding my application. When I saw that his "Adoption Pending" was removed and he was available again I jumped on the phone that minute. Sandy interviewed me right then, asked for pictures of our home and references and we were able to get Yoda the next day. He has been by my side ever since. He is my best friend! Farfel's requires that you do a mandatory 2 week foster with your dog first to make sure the dog is a good fit for your family. I think this is fantastic. If it isn't a good match there is no judgement and they refund the adoption fee immediately. In regards to the adoption fee. Yes, $425 is definitely more than say the humane society, but they are just covering the costs involved with rescue. Traveling to the high kill shelters in the southern states, temperament testing, spay/neuter, vet checks, food and transportation up here to CO. It makes sense when you think of all they're doing to rescue these little guys. I highly recommend Farfel's. The little store is great too, though we don't shop there often due to living up in Fort Collins. If you're trying to adopt a dog with them, be kind and be persistent. Good luck! read more

This is a FOR PROFIT animal rescue with Unethical lying owners.

(We adopted a dog from Farfel's.) - Jeff and Sandy are such nice people and were a wonderful help when adopting our rescue dog from them. Farfel's team talked us thru our particular situation and how This particular dog might fit our lifestyle. Very helpful. Of course Farfel's gave us the dog's records, AND lots of FREE great quality food, a FREE harness, a FREE great book with tips for new adopters and their dog's AND a listing of local trainers (suggested we register for an obedience class which we did.) Im confident if we would have needed more help, they would have jumped right in with is! Additionally, they fully explained their adoption process, kindly connected us with the folks who knew about the dog and held our hand through the entire meet and greet thru to our final adoption. Farfel's 'requires' adopters to commit to keeping the rescue for a week to be sure it is going to be a fit for us AND THE DOG which I thot was very cool. FYI - We also could have chosen NOT to adopt without being out an adoption fee. Good policy and helps when you're unsure of "who" your rescue dog really is. Gives us all a minute to see if we are right for each other. We LOVE our dog and are SO GRATEFUL to Sandy and Jeff for rescuing him from a Texas shelter! THANK YOU!! read more

Farfel's Farm & Rescue - Our rescue guy! - Pet Stores Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

A cute little pet store full of finds for the heath-conscious owner (apparently, the best vegetarian treats on the market)! The couple that runs the place are very nice. Chatted me, my husband, and my sister-in-law up quite a bit about our dogs and what they might enjoy. I grabbed two toys, one of which is still withstanding the uncanny ability my German Pinscher has to to unstuff any plush plaything. The seams are all on the inside (briliant!) and it's lined with a durable netted material. It's also a ridiculously cute octopus with eight appendages -- ALL of which have a squeaker in them. Love it! I'm thinking of mentioning the brand to the folks at Phydeaux back in NC and seeing if we can get those suckers stocked here! Bear in mind the shop is on the small side. Pop in if you're the area. But for staples like beds and dishes, you probably want a bigger store with more selection. And if you have a small breed that you dress (either for warmth -- or for costume), there wasn't much in the way of that either. read more

Farfel's started out seeming great. They approved me for adopting a dog and at that point were very friendly. But when I went to see it, it was a lot different than the picture AND the description. The description said it was a dachshund (not a dachshund mix). It was definitely a mix so I was quite surprised. In the description, it said the dog had been in a foster home but the young women at the counter said it had not. That meant to me that it had not been vetted. By that time I was feeling pretty disillusioned. Ultimately I did not take the dog home because it didn't feel right. My granddaughter was with me and cried. If I'd had better information in the first place, that could have been avoided. Sandy, one of the owners, later told me she couldn't let me adopt any dog from them because I didn't take the dog after my granddaughter cried, and when I said the dog wasn't a dachshund as indicated, she said I was only concerned with cosmetics.This she repeated. I've had several rescues in the past and cosmetics were never an issue. I took dogs that needed a home but that were also a good fit for me. She indicated that I was insufficiently compassionate not to have taken the dog home. She misunderstood me completely, spoke to me in a rude and disrespectful way, and seemed to only be interested in defending her position. She acted like the dog really was a dachshund when clearly it was not. It was a mix at most. I wasn't so concerned about it being a mix--I like mixes--but I was concerned about misrepresentation that led to disappointed expectations on the part of me and my granddaughter, too. And if I hadn't come in to talk with her, I never would have realized there was no longer any chance of being chosen for a dog. Farfel's repeated more than once that there would be no judgment if a dog was refused for whatever reason. Clearly there is a great deal of judgment. Jeff said there are thousands of dogs that need homes. It wasn't that I was concerned about never getting a dog from them, I was upset about misrepresentation, at the way I was treated, and the way I was spoken to. read more

Farfel's is the perfect place in Boulder to hang and chat with other pet lovers, including the owners. We were just walking along Pearl St. taking in the sights and sounds of life in Boulder, and couldn't resist stopping into this pet friendly store. 45 minutes later, we had purchased a few treats and toys for our "furry friends", had chatted with other customers and owners, and even played with the owners' dogs that hang out at the store. My daughter even got some great advice about what breeds of dog may be right for her in the future. If you're a pet lover - go visit this place to meet kindred spirits. read more

I never took Beau to a dog park, but in Colorado it's nearly impossible to find a trail or place to walk where you don't run into another dog at some point. I did take him to a park with my friend and her one dog after you gave me the advice to try him off leash. I never blamed you or Beau for getting bit. I just called you to tell you that I wouldn't be able to keep him. You're absolutely correct, Beau was not the center of my being upset. He's an extremely sweet dog, just not the dog for me, and I was under the impression that the point of the foster week was to catch instances like this where it wouldn't be a good fit and solve it early. I understand you are doing great work for the dogs, and my intention in posting was not to discourage people from adopting, I think I made that clear. My intention is merely to urge you to treat your customers with respect while still doing your great work for the animals. I think it can be done. read more

Farfels is an amazing adoption agency to go through. Our dog came to us with the typical health conditions seen in a stray, kennel cough and a little mange. We took her to their approved vet - Niwot Veterinarian and they were amazing. Farfels covered all of the costs to put her on antibiotics, and medicated shampoo to treat her skin sonce she came to us sick. This is truly one of the best adoption agencies to go through. Our dog is a wonderful addition to our family and everything they described about her is true! I would 100% adopt another pet through them again (July 2020). read more

I've been doing business with Sandy and Jeff since shortly after they opened. They are two of the nicest, most decent people you could ever meet. Lots of toy choices, treats, collars and leashes and fun novelty items! Plus, they are providing an immeasurably vital service with the rescue they operate. So many lives saved from high kill shelters! Stop into Farfel's Farm - you won't be disappointed!! read more

Do not go here. Customer service is very important to me. This woman and/or company has animals listed on Adopt-a-Pet.com. We've reached out to her twice and never received one response back.

There's a really good vibe in this place on the West end of Pearl Street, and that means a lot to me in today's mostly antiseptic business setting. Sandy & Jeff offer a lot of dog and cat supplies and toys, but they also know their subject, and offer options. They have a lot of love in this store, and it just feels right. They are pushy, they don't jam products on you, instead they ask solid questions and try to make your visit a good one. They're friendly and positive. In addition, they also rescue dogs and cats from all around the Rockies, and that's a big plus in my world. I'll definitely return. read more

Farfel's Farm is a quaint pet store and doesn't skimp on the small town charm. Even though it is quite small in size they have a good selection of items for your dog. They have dog food and I even saw the food we buy our dog and it was the same price as Petco! Buy here and support local businesses!!!! :) On top of food and treats they have a wide range of collars, leashes, harnesses, and toys for your pup! They do have an impressive selection for being a small business, but what I was most impressed with was their passion for dogs and creating a happy shopping environment. We all felt welcome in the shop and we spent a good amount of time looking around because of it. They really love dogs!!! It's funny that sometimes pet stores don't really have that passion for animals like you would think. Not a problem here :D We are more towards Denver, but when we make it to Boulder I think we will have to come back and see what they have going on again! We love the goodies we bought from Farfel's Farm! read more

Swung by Farfel's with my wife while wandering around Boulder. Our new dog, Fozzy (an Australian Cattle Dog) is high maintenance. High maintenance in that he has horrible separation anxiety and until we get him "cured" he has to stay in a crate in our car so he doesn't bark and upset our neighbors. The dog behaviorist we're working with recommended bison bone for little Fozzy. Luckily, Farfel's had a huge selection of bison parts. From bison knee cap to bison trachea, Farfel's basically had every part in the body. We ended up getting fozzy a GIANT bison knuckle to chew on. Needless to say, he was one happy Fozzy. After lunch at SALT, my wife and I came back to get a couple more things. The store guy "kind of" remembered us, which wasn't too awkward. Well, a little bit, but whatever. We wanted to get Fozzy a walking harness with a front strap so he wouldn't jump on people while we were walking him. We also got a bag of small dog treats to work on his training. The prices here are on the high side but you get a nice selection and it is much more pleasant than going to a Pet Co or a PetsMart. If you're in the area with your pooch or cat, swing by. Just remember that the Pearl Street Mall is a dog-free zone. read more

They don't want our business.... We faxed (not sure who uses faxes anymore) in an application to adopt a dog and never heard back. Understandable as they have so many applications. So we decided to stop by the store and ask if we had been approved or if there were other dogs available to adopt. The clerk took out our application from their file and said that they don't really feel comfortable adopting to us. Being we are two grown adults with good jobs, a home with a yard, and a business we were extremely confused and asked why. She stated " Well, you have a child under 10 and you both have jobs". This did not seem odd to us so we asked what this had to do with it. She stated that they never really adopt to people that have children under 10 because they can't tell the temperament and we might get lucky one day to get a Lab. Additionally we both work (being 2018 my wife and I didn't think this was odd that we both have jobs) and that they would NEVER adopt out to a family that didn't have at least one person at home to watch the dog all day. Since we are not retired, independently wealthy, both choose work and have children we do not qualify for the privilege of giving a dog a good home. Unfortunately this rescue seems to scoop up all the hypoallergenic dogs and we cannot find one at a shelter. Therefore we are going to a breeder or, yes I'll say it, going to a pet store. Too bad, because we are a good family and have a wonderful home to provide for a dog. Additionally we previously had a dog that passed away in 2017 that we got from a shelter. He lived happily until 16....we are such awful people. read more

I adopted Brady this summer and want to pass on just how well he is doing, and how happy I am to have him as my companion. When he was adopted about 2 months ago, he had been treated for a severe case of mites, and only had about 50% of his coat. He is blind in one eye and had a dreadful ear infection. After adoption, the vet that Farfel's recommended determined he has a hearing loss and also had an infection of his anal glands and cognitive dysfunction! Because he was just so sweet, I decided I would try to care for his needs with the vet they provided, Red Rocks Veterinarians. I have been diligent with the many medications and used salmon oil in his food. He also gets a mile-long walk 1 - 2 x a day. Last Friday, he was finally able to be groomed. What a cutie he has become! He is so lovable, quite sociable with other dogs and people, and is becoming successful with training. Thank you so much for all the support you provided, and for covering the medical costs of his rehabilitation. We never would have made such progress in such a short period of time. I've renamed him Buddy because he is truly a delightful companion. Thank you! read more

Great pet boutique store on the west end of Pearl St. Decent selection of quality dog & cat food as well as other products. I don't think they offer grooming or homeopathic/holistic pet remedies like you'd find at Pet Empawrium in Arvada.

Sandy and Jeff are the BEST! They are so knowledgeable about dogs, and sell the cutest items in their store. I had a hard time getting my dog to leave because everyone was petting her! They are passionate animal lovers who bring their love to every adoption they do and that love and passion shows in their store as well. I have had two friends adopt dogs with them and they matched the dogs spot on with the owners needs. I would recommend their store and rescue services to everyone who is looking for reliable, knowledgeable, passionate animal lovers. read more

My husband and I recently lost our beloved Shitzu and knew our other sweet dog was lonely. I reviewed several animal rescues in Colorado and decided that I loved Farfel's philosophy and respected what they do. I saw pictures and read several bios of their long haired small dogs. I responded by email that I was interested in several,and heard back the next day by phone from one of the owners, Sandy. Her passion for the dogs and information as well as her patience with answering my questions was very impressive. She sat up a visit for my husband and dog to drive to Boulder later that afternoon to meet the dog. When the foster arrived with the dog it was observed that she and my dog did not take to each other. The dog was very sweet but after much conversation my husband and I decided that she was not a good fit for our family. Our dog would have totally dominated her. The lady that was working at Farfel's was ready for us to take the dog and offered several options without reviewing our application or even interviewing us. The next day I immediately emailed Sandy to share our decision. I did not hear back. The next day I again looked at the dogs at Farfel's and found several dogs that may work,as potential family members. I excitedly called the store and spoke to Jackie. She told me that one of,the dogs was coming from Tx in two days and I could,again drive to Boulder to met him 45 min after his trip to CO. She said if I want him, I could immediately purchase him that afternoon and that would avoid him having to be fostered. This was a little concerning to me as I felt the pet may be stressed from being transported. I then asked about another pet that was being fostered in Boulder. She said I could meet both of these dogs on the same day and make a decision. I was excited all evening until I received a, call from Jeff, Sandy's husband and co owner. He abruptly told me that the pup,that hadn't even arrived yet ,was already "spoken for" and that Jackie was new. He proceeded to tell me that the other dog I was scheduled to see was a lap dog and not what I was looking for. I asked about several other dogs and was told that they were all " spoken for" and that most people, adopt these animals sight unseen. He said that I had turned down one of their dogs and that he refused to set up more visits for me with every dog except the one dog that had been in a fostering situation for several months. He told me he would call me back in the morning about that,. He also admitted to being abrupt with me and cut me off several times. When I asked that he have his wife Sandy call me instead, he said that my husband and I were not a good fit for, Farfel's and wished us good luck. Someone should check into this organization to find out about this policy. Why were these dogs listed on several websites without any notes about adoptions pending? Why couldn't Jeff explain to me how to get on this"secret list' when I asked? Is it best for pets coming from kill shelters to come to our state and be adopted 30- 45 minutes later with families that have already paid for them yet never met them? Why is Farfel's adoption cost of $425 so much higher than other rescues in the state? So disappointed and heartbroken. This experience has made me weary of adopting any animal and if and when I do it will not be from Farfel's. read more
