Patch

6 year old neutered mix

Hey, over the road truck drivers, need a copilot?

Hey, older lonely people, need a quiet companion? Honestly, Patch is happy to just be next to ya, curled up, quietly, waiting for you to call the shots. If you just want to stay in where it’s warm, Patch is fine with that. If you decide to walk around the yard, Patch is good with that. You want to romp around a bit? Patch is happy to join in. This guy is seriously no problem to have around. Completely house trained. You can go to town for hours, leave him loose in the house and he won’t bother a thing. Well, unless you leave food on the counter. And as much as he just wants to be close to his person, he doesn’t pester you for attention. Just get him outside for a couple minutes 3-4 times a day, let him sniff around, he’s content. I bet Patch would enjoy keeping the yard free of squirrels! In the car, Patch is the same as in the house. You won’t even know he’s there. He may need some encouragement to get him in the car, but once in, no problem.

Patch doesn’t bother cats. He may sniff them a little but that’s about it. I haven’t had him around young children but I’m guessing their high energy may make him nervous. I’m going to say he could be selective with other dogs. He wants to play & be a good friend but if the other dog wants to start some crap, Patch won’t back down!

If you think Patch might fit into your life, he is fostered in Salem Ohio. Send any questions to janemamsberry@aol.com or fill out an application at ACDRA.org and you will be contacted. Patch is current in all vaccines, heartworm prevention, and flea & tick prevention. A fenced yard would be ideal but not required.
