About PATCHES

Patches is a dog whose sweetness is unmistakable. She has a gentle way about her, whether she's lying beside you, softly wagging her tail, or simply keeping you company. She thrives in the presence of people, spending most of her time wherever her loved ones are, offering quiet companionship that speaks louder than words. Patches is friendly, but she's also a little shy at first-she likes to take a moment to get to know someone before revealing just how warm and affectionate she truly is. Once she opens up, though, she's playful and engaged, showing a loving spirit that makes her impossible not to adore. She's been a wonderful friend to children, a loyal presence in her home, and a source of comfort and joy. Her quirks only add to her charm. Patches has a habit of saving food for later, as if she's savoring it rather than rushing through a meal. She enjoys bath time, understands cues like 'sit' and 'lay down,' and has her own little routines that make her feel secure. She's full of personality-a little cautious at times, but deeply loving and ready to form strong bonds. The only thing she's missing is a home where she can continue being the sweet, affectionate, and loyal companion she has always been. With patience and love, Patches will settle in, bringing warmth and quiet devotion to whoever is lucky enough to welcome her. Patches a super friendly, active and affectionate dog. She loves tug of war and cuddling. She has a big smile and behaves well with new dogs and people.
