About Patch

Heya my name is Patch and i am the best hugger!
I love love love people and i am incredibly affectionate to everyone i meet.
Inherently trusting i am bright and respectful, listening to my owners and genuinely wanting to please them.
I would be the perfect addition to any household as i am a well developed dog who responds great to meeting new k9 friends.
I would love to live in a home with plenty of space for me to run, be silly, and stretch my legs!
My owner would be active, engaged and equally as loving as me!
I am untested with cats.
