Patch! 🧩

🐾 MEET PATCH — The Gentle Protector 🤍🐾

Patch is impossible to miss!

With his beautiful completely white face, this gorgeous boy has one of the softest personalities in the entire litter. 🤍

Patch is a fascinating mix of gentle and protective. When he's with his sisters and feels secure, he's sweet, confident and incredibly affectionate. But when he's on his own and faced with something unfamiliar, that confidence can disappear pretty quickly.

He's also the litter's little protector. If he's unsure about a new person or situation, Patch may let you know with a bark — not because he's looking for trouble, but because he's trying to work out whether everyone is safe.

Underneath that brave little protector exterior is actually a very soft, placid and gentle boy. 🥹

Patch thrives on companionship and would ideally have a friendly, desexed female dog to share his new life with. Alternatively, his family will need to be home very regularly and genuinely enjoy having a dog who likes company.

🏡 PATCH'S PERFECT HOME

✅ Patient owner who understands shy/reserved dogs
✅ Friendly, desexed female dog preferred/required
✅ Alternatively, someone home most of the time
✅ Existing dog must be up to date with vaccinations
✅ Secure yard — no units/apartments
✅ Someone who enjoys having a companion dog
✅ Ongoing positive-reinforcement training
✅ Puppy/obedience classes strongly recommended
✅ Older children/teenagers preferred — no young children
✅ Cats unknown; slow, careful introductions required
❌ Not suitable to be adopted with a sibling
❌ Not suited to being left alone for long periods

🐶 A LITTLE ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND

Patch and his siblings have had a very sheltered beginning. They spent their early months living indoors together with their mum and have had limited exposure to the outside world, different people and everyday family experiences.

As a result, Patch relies heavily on companionship while he's learning that new things aren't scary.

He has shown himself to have a lovely, gentle nature and is particularly sweet when he feels secure. His new family will simply need to continue that work and help him transfer the confidence he has around dogs into confidence around the wider world.

The pups appear to be toilet trained and clean in their kennels overnight. They're still learning about toys and all the new experiences that come with being young dogs.

All five are littermates and have always lived together. They will not be adopted together, as they need the opportunity to develop independence away from their siblings.

🐾 Breed: Staffy x Mastiff
🐾 Age: Approximately 9–10 months
🐾 Size: Expected to be around Staffy-sized when fully grown
🐾 Adoption fee: $450

❤️ IMPORTANT ADOPTION INFORMATION

Patch will be desexed before going to his new home.

There are no walk-ins. Please call the pound first to book a meet-and-greet.

If you're travelling to meet Patch, please note that payment to hold him is not taken over the phone. A meet-and-greet must take place at the pound first. If the meeting goes well, we can then proceed with the adoption process.

Existing dogs must be desexed and up to date with vaccinations and will need to attend the required meet-and-greet at the pound. 🐕❤️

Patch is the kind of dog who may quietly steal your heart. Give him security, companionship and patience, and that soft little personality is sure to shine. 🤍
