About Patrick Caroline

Meet Patrick Caroline, an 11-year-old beagle/basset mix currently in Waldorf, MD. Weighing about 28 pounds, Patrick came in as a stray, likely after a life as a hunting dog outdoors. He’s still learning to settle into family life and has only recently begun to warm up to love and attention. Patrick isn’t the steadiest on his feet—he needs help navigating stairs or getting onto the couch, and he isn't quite housebroken, though he’s picking up cues from his foster brother. He also has some vision issues; he can see, but it takes a moment for things to come into focus. Despite a hard past, Patrick has proven to be a gentle, sweet old soul who looks for patience and understanding in his people. He’s good with other dogs and children, making him a solid companion for a quiet, caring home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
