Fargo/Farley

Fargo, or Farley, is a large, sweet, and silly boy who has really transformed his life! He arrived a bit overweight, which limited his mobility, but with a healthy diet and proper exercise, he's looking and feeling fantastic! He absolutely loves playing fetch with his Chuck-it all day long.

Farley is a nearly 3-year-old shepherd mix. He came to us with some fear-based reactivity on leash towards people and other dogs. However, he thrives in a doggie daycare environment and is eager to make friends off-leash. His on-leash manners are being actively rehabilitated, and he's showing incredible progress! Farley's history is a bit of a mystery, having had several owners in his short life. He was born in Texas and ended up in Maine, thankfully avoiding a sad fate at a local shelter due to his leash reactivity. Despite his past, Farley has had no issues meeting people here, both on and off leash, and has had wonderful interactions with cats. We're unsure about his experience with children, but given his amazing temperament, they could be a possibility in the right home. His previous owner was physically abusive, which has made Farley wary of quick movements and sometimes shy around men. He doesn't react aggressively but rather shuts down if he's afraid. We're diligently showing him what a kind and gentle home feels like.
