Alfie

My story

Our compassionate New Mexico rescuers saved the life of this very sweet and irresistible Chihuahua / Smooth Fox Terrier mix with hopes of transporting him to Colorado for a new and wonderful life. We're uncertain exactly what Alfie's history was or how he landed at a scary New Mexico shelter, but what we do know is that this little guy won the hearts of so many. Alfie's cuteness and the power of his very mellow and sweet and loving personality motivated his rescuers to save his precious life. This irresistible pup is now safe and sound (and so happy) awaiting his transport to a wonderful new life in Colorado. Alfie, at 5ish years old is such a great age. He's old enough to be beyond babyish behaviors but young enough to embrace his new life with excited anticipation at the many active and healthy years ahead. Alfie weighs approximately 15 pounds of cottony-soft fluffiness and loves his rescuer more than anything in the world. Alfie is the perfect size and temperament for couch and bed cuddles, fun playtimes and neighborhood walks. This little guy would be a perfect choice for an older adopter who is seeking a best friend in their life. He will be the perfect companion for warming his favorite person's lap and bringing tons of love and silliness to their life. Alfie is such a devoted and smart little guy. A much more relaxed and comfortable Alfie is emerging since he's been released from the scary shelter environment. Initially this poor pup was so frightened due to all the changes in his life, but with patience and love, he's truly blossoming! Alfie loves his days with his rescuers! He enjoys his time where he can socialize with dog-loving people and go on long walks for exercise and sniffing. Won't he be perfect for those gorgeous days where he can leisurely meet dog-loving folks walking with their pups to engage in conversation and loving pats? Farfel's Rescue would like to see Alfie in a home with loving and devoted retirees that spends lots of time at home, or enjoy taking their furry best friend along on their adventures. A younger family that works from a home-based office would also be a good choice for this precious guy. Alfie is a very positive spirit who can be loving and very fun at home and also a perfect take-along sized guy. It's so easy to just scoop him up and snuggle him under your arm. He enjoys the car and is very happy riding along strapped into his car seat so he can watch all the activities outside his window. Alfie is at his absolute best with dog-crazy adults or older children. He seems to enjoy the quiet loving energy that both bring to a home. A couple of daily walks with some backyard play followed by time on the couch or bed watching a favorite TV show would speak to this loving little dog. Alfie would be overjoyed to be part of a family that enjoys their leisure as well as active times. It would match his own energy level and he will be a very happy, full-time best friend. Alfie enjoys his relationships with gentle dogs but is unknown with cats. We believe he came from a situation with other dogs and seems to enjoy them. He does well as long as they're respectful of his smaller size and quiet ways. We feel that Alfie would also love life as an only dog with a family that will shower full-time love and pampering on him. He would return that love and kindness a million times over as he falls more and more in love with his new family. Alfie will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. A daily salmon oil supplement coupled with a very healthy diet of 5 star food will keep this gorgeous guy's hair cottony-soft and shining with great health. Alfie has been fully vetted and vaccinated to fulfill Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to support our work toward a euthanasia - free future in the canine population. Alfie will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 9/3/2025. If interested in this cute, cuddly and very 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 Alfie please be sure to submit the Farfel's Rescue adoption application that can be found at the link above or at farfels.com. Rescue site applications such as Petfinder or Adoptapet don't provide enough information for us to determine a great match for this very deserving dog and therefore aren't useful. We're sorry, but in many circumstances, we're unable to get back to those those that don't submit a Farfel's adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Alfie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
