About Farley Calm Gentle Blue

Farley is a roughly 4-year-old, medium-sized American Bulldog/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a striking blue brindle coat and a unique Catahoula-style tail. He’s an attentive, loving companion who thrives in calm environments, happiest lounging beside you or keeping you company while you work. His foster reports he’s gentle, housebroken, doesn’t bark unnecessarily, and relaxes easily—he’s just as happy entertaining himself with a toy as he is being nearby. Farley adores women and, while he usually needs a little time to warm up to men, he becomes deeply attached once he trusts someone. He gets along well with other dogs (especially females), has male dog friends, and is cat-friendly. Farley’s leash-walking skills are solid and he’s great in a car. He knows basic cues like "sit" and comes when called. A fenced yard is a plus for him—he loves time outside but prefers to be close to his people, following his foster dad in the garden or sitting by your feet. He’s low maintenance and playful without being hyper, and his "one ear up" look adds to his comedic charm. Farley is fully vetted and current on vaccinations. He’s a wonderful choice for an individual or couple seeking a devoted companion and is available in Charlottesville, VA (with transport and foster-to-adopt options available).
