About Patch
This big chunk of hunk is Patch, a 4 year old Mastiff X who has been patiently waiting for his forever family to find him.
Patch is a gentle giant with a face that will make your heart melt. He is very chilled out, and looking for a quiet home where he can laze in the sun, snuggle on the couch watching movies and enjoying the good life of belly rubs and snacks. Patch is a lazy boy and doesn't require much exercise, just love and adoration. He absolutely adores his humans and would make the perfect companion for someone who is around more than not and wanting a big, goofy sidekick.
While patch has a relaxed demanour, life wasnt always great for him and he can be a bit fearful of men, and for this reason would suit a female only household or needs a family who will be patient and compassionate with him and allow him to get used to any males in the house. Once he knows he can trust you he will be your most loyal friend and confidant.
Patch needs the quite life and his ideal family will live out of suburbia, and have some space for him to run around with. He would love a dog companion, but is prone to chasing small things so not suited to cats or smaller pets. He is used to living around horses and free range chickens and loves farm life so would suit a rural property with fencing. He is fine with kids, but due to his size (and love of peace and quiet) is suited to older children.
He is a big boy so would benefit from someone with large breed experience who can be a strong leader. Patch is very intelligent, he has good recall, great on lead, knows his basic commands and like all smart dogs will push the boundaries to see what he can get away with!
Patch is a really special boy and will make the right family the most wonderful companion. If you think that family is you, please get in touch.
Patch's adoption fee covers desexing, microchipping and vaccinations. He is located with his foster family on Wonga Park.
Medical notes
He is a Happy and mostly healthy although Patch has hip dysphasia in both hips the left side being worse, due to his age vets don't recommend surgery. Patch also suffers from vertibral disc disease (his vertebrae rub together) which causes him occassional pain. He currently does not require medication for this and has been successfully managed through diet and weight maintenance currently.
