About Patches

Patches is a loyal and affectionate two-year-old Terrier on the lookout for a devoted family. This playful boy has a delightfully goofy personality and thrives on love and companionship. His moderate energy makes him a great match for a quiet home where he can truly blossom. He weighs around 20 lbs, making him the perfect small to medium-sized companion. Found as a stray and brought to a shelter, Patches initially struggled to adapt. Thankfully, he was rescued and has been thriving in a foster home, where he's shown he can gradually warm up to new people with patience and treats. He enjoys lap time and looks to his humans for comfort. Patches does well with other playful dogs and might even thrive as the only dog in the home. He currently shares space with a cat, but his playful nature means that a kitty-free home might be best. Patches is both house and crate trained, happily using his crate during the day and overnight. He monitors guests from his crate, fulfilling his duty of being the household alarm system. Patches also takes a daily anti-anxiety medication which has had a positive impact on his overall well-being. As such a sweet boy, he is excited to find a family that will cherish him and help him feel secure. If you believe you could be the right match for beloved Patches, submit your application today!
