Patch

Hi! I'm Patch and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR PATCH
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/LFkDtUdnzA7me4CYA

NOTE: You are unable to meet Patch until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Patch in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.


What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate, however I'm not overly playful. I just prefer to laze about. When I do meet a new doggo I do like to sniff them A LOT, so not all dogs may like that.
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction as I have previously lived with a cat
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• I have previously lived with young children
• A family that will love and care for me during my twilight years

Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car

My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• I have had some basic obedience training and am a generally well-mannered dog
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I LOVE belly rubs

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
