About Patch

Patch is a 2.5-year-old husky mix bursting with energy and drive. Recently pulled from a high-kill shelter in California, he's now living the foster life up in Washington, waiting for a forever family. Patch is playful, smart, and loves to keep busy—think long walks, hiking trails, or any outing that puts his athleticism to work. He’s strong and needs an adopter who can match his enthusiasm and strength. Patch thrives with attention and affection, and once he trusts you, he's big on giving kisses. He has a soft spot for treats and bonds quickly with people who engage with him. Patch is social with other dogs, but his robust husky energy can overwhelm some, so he’d do well as an only pet or with active canine friends. He doesn’t get along with cats, so a cat-free home is best. Patch is house trained and vaccinated, with a beautiful medium-length coat in a mix of white/cream and black. He’s ready for someone active who will keep his mind and body stimulated. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
