Patches is a striking fellow with a unique chocolate-and-white coat, featuring a distinctive white "mask" across his face and one captivating blue eye. His most endearing physical trait is his expressive "rose" ears, which perfectly frame his soulful face and give him a sweet, alert look. He is already neutered and ready to find a patient teammate who appreciates his gentle, sensitive nature. While the loud and busy kennel environment can be a bit overwhelming for him, Patches undergoes a beautiful transformation the moment he steps outside. He is a "slow burner" who may start off shy, but he opens up quickly once he is in the yard or out on a walk. He is a focused walking partner who enjoys taking in the sights at a relaxed, steady pace. For Patches, the perfect afternoon involves a quiet yard where he can approach you at his own pace for slow, intentional pets and soft head scratches. This sweet boy is also good with other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for a household with existing canine residents. Because he is a bit timid in the shelter, he would thrive in a home that can offer him the security he needs to let his true personality shine. Patches is currently looking for either a foster or a forever adoptive home. Fostering is a life-saving way to help a shy dog like Patches decompress outside of a kennel setting and provides the perfect opportunity to see his affectionate side firsthand.
