Meet Farley

This Tree Walkeer Coon Hound has been waiting a long time to find his forever family.

Farley is currently in a foster home with two other dogs, toddlers and cats. Farley is not a good match for a home with kitties so this sweet boy will need a foster or permanent home that is cat-free.

Here is what Dogs Deserve Better has to say about Farley:

Farley is a wonderful 5-year old Treeing Walker Coonhound. For those of you who love this breed, Farley is a true find!

Farley came to our rescue after a death his family. His whole life has been turned upside down. He misses his former owner terribly and really needs a forever home to call his own.

Adjectives to describe Farley are Goofy, fun and good natured.

Farley loves to go for long walks in the woods and to romp with his human or canine companions.

At five years old, Farley is at the perfect age... not a wild puppy, but plenty of life and love left to give.

Farley loves people - he is good with other dogs and is wonderful with children of all ages, including toddlers.

As is the case with most hounds - Farley will do anything for a treat...

He enjoys romping in the yard with his foster "brother" and is gentle with the young children in the home.

Here is the latest from Farley's foster mom:

Since Farley has come to our home, he's really come out of his shell and is a real sweetheart.

He is a perfect gentleman whether its getting a bath or just dealing with the everyday life with two toddlers and a 10 month old bullmastiff pup.

He takes everything from the kids trailing him, to rattling his crate door, to having a 100 lb pup constantly trying to get him to play by tackling him and running around him barking, with the same laid back ease he does everything.
Farley enjoys his attention from his human and canine friends, but also enjoys being outside in the yard.

His favorite thing to do is sunbathe. I often have a hard time getting him to come in if its sunny out, he'll often move around the yard as the sun shifts, but come dinner time or bed time he'll be the first one there.

He crates very well and enjoys his rides in the car.

He's really started playing around and acting like the young dog he is. He's been a real joy.


As is typical of his breed, Farley is led by his nose, which sometimes makes him difficult to walk on leash (especially if he sees a squirrel or chipmunk). He responds well to a haltee or no-pull harness.

Farley is a wonderful family dog. If you take him home, he will be your best friend and will promise to keep you laughing.

Farley is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations

Due to this breed's capacity to roam - a fenced in yard (stockade or chain link) is required as one of the application criteria.

If you can provide Farley with the love and attention that he deserves, please contact DDBMaine@yahoo.com
