Patch ~ Husky x Kelpie (On trial 27/7/2017)

Hi my name is Patch or Patchy, I will come to either. I am a 6 month old Husky x kelpie. My foster mum thinks I am pretty cute!

I am not a very big fellow for my age but will grow to be a medium size dog.

I am having lots of fun with my foster family. I am living with my brother, Max, also listed, and two other doggy friends who I love playing with.

I am a bit timid and can be a little shy meeting new people but am getting better every day. I love coming inside with the family and having a sleep on the lounge snuggled up with someone.

My favourite thing to do is to go for a walk. At first I didn’t know how to walk on lead but feel I have it under control now. I would like a walking harness, I don’t really pull as I haven’t got much weight behind me but apparently a harness is better for me. I am great in the car too.

I can sit and come when called, I am trying real hard with the toilet training but I still have a couple of accidents so will need a bit of patience in this area. It would be great if someone could take me to puppy training classes as I am happy to learn new things and haven’t had much exposure to training.

I currently sleep outside on an undercover deck out of the elements with my brother on a cosy bed. I would love a friendly furry friend to be with as I have had my brother as company for all my life and really like to play and cosy up to him.

I would suit a family with children over 5 years old, a young couple or a semi retired couple. It would be nice to be included in family time so would need some hours inside. I don’t muck up inside, I usually just have a snooze.
