About Patrick

Patrick is a sweet 8-year-old Australian Shepherd mix in need of a new loving home. His current owner is entering a care home, and they've asked for help finding Patrick a place where he can thrive in his golden years. Weighing around 48 pounds, Patrick is known for being gentle, quiet, and doesn’t bark at all. He is neutered and house-trained, getting along well with both dogs and cats, as well as children. He has not required crate training in his current environment, so that aspect remains uncertain. Patrick does take thyroid medication twice daily, which his future family will need to continue. He has veterinary records available and is otherwise reported to be in good health. This is a courtesy post for Patrick, who deserves to be cherished in a new home. Please reach out directly to Ed Mullin at 216-407-3763 for more information about adopting this wonderful boy. Looking for a calm and loving companion? Patrick might be the one for you!
