About Patch

Patch is a young male dog estimated to be around a year old. When he arrived at the shelter, he was undernourished and dealing with skin issues. Currently, he should be fed separately from other dogs and would thrive with some dedicated socialization and training. Since coming to the shelter, Patch has been a bit shy, often hiding in the corner of his kennel and showing limited interest in human interaction. It would be wonderful for Patch to find a patient and understanding adopter who can help him regain his confidence. With some time and love, he could become a loyal companion.
