Farley Terrier & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Cleveland, OH

We're fond of Farley! It's hard not to fall for that earnest face. Farley has a charming personality that he is showing off more and more as we get to know him. He has some silly, puppyish energy and is always excited to get out and about on walks. He seems quite curious and active, and enjoys sniffing around outside. He has a passion for treats, and seems like he already knows sit and down on command. He seems to have a goofy disposition with just a bit of puppyishness thrown in (at around 2 years old, he is still kind of a teenager.) But he also seems to have a sweet side, and we think will be very happy to be someone's best pal. Once he settles into an active routine we think he'll make a great companion! Farley is around 2 years old and weighs 62 lbs.
Farley unfortunately arrived at the kennel heartworm positive but the good news is that it is treatable. We'll cover the cost, Farley just needs to find a home where he can be on lower-activity and rest for a month and a half while he is recovering from the treatment when he gets it.

The CITY DOGS mission is to increase adoptions from the City Kennel by changing the image of the pit bulls who make up the majority of the kennel population, by preparing all adoptable dogs in the kennel for lives in loving homes and by creating as many opportunities as possible for the public to meet and get to know our dogs for the terrific pets they are meant to be.

Our Adoption Process...
Here's a little about how things work:
All of the CITY DOGS posted for adoption are available for direct adoption from the kennel, unless noted otherwise. You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)

About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.

Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.?
