Patches

Hi there! I'm Patches! I'm a sweet, funny little guy with the most expressive big brown eyes and a heart full of love to give. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was a bit unsure and scared. But after a day or so, I realized I was in a safe, warm place, and I started paying more attention to everything around me. Now, I love exploring, playing, and being part of the daily routine. I'm very food-motivated and have an excellent appetite, which makes me easy to win over with a tasty treat. I also really enjoy snuggling up with my humans after a little playtime. Sometimes, I get nervous about being picked up or leashed the wrong way, so I'll need someone who can be gentle and patient with me as I learn to trust. My foster family discovered that letting me wear a slip leash for a while helped me feel more comfortable-it's all about building trust with me, one step at a time. I have some challenges with my back legs, and I stumble a bit when I walk. I also have a unique way of going potty due to my hind leg weakness, but my foster family will share all the details to make sure you're ready to help me thrive. My ideal home would have an adult (or two!) who can understand my fears and my physical needs. A mostly carpeted home would be perfect-it helps me feel more stable when I walk. I'm okay with other dogs, but I mostly keep to myself, so I don't mind being your one-and-only or sharing with a calm furry friend. If you're someone who can offer me patience, love, and a cozy place to call home, I promise I'll reward you with so much affection and gratitude. Are you ready to welcome a gentle, lovable little guy like me into your heart and home? I can't wait to meet you!
