🚨 Meet Patches 🚨
Patches is a 1-year-old “supposedly” golden mix weighing 55 pounds. We’ve been told her mom was a Golden Retriever and her dad may have been a Dalmatian… but honestly, we can’t confirm any of that 😂 What we can confirm is that she is 100% GOOD DOG.
You may have already heard about Patches through our recent posts about her sister, Sophia ❤️🩹 The girls came into rescue together after spending their lives side by side living as outdoor yard dogs, and while Sophia’s medical story first brought them to us, we quickly fell in love with sweet Patches too and jumped at the opportunity to help them both.
What we know about Patches so far:
🐾 Loves being around other dogs
🍗 Very food motivated and excited to learn (chicken is definitely the way to her heart)
🏕️ Would make an amazing hiking, running, or camping buddy
🎓 Still learning her manners and indoor dog life, but incredibly eager to learn
🎉 Already making wonderful progress with leash walking and confidence
So many experiences are still brand new to Patches, but she has approached everything with curiosity, sweetness, and a willingness to learn. She takes comfort in being close to her people and is looking for a family committed to continuing her training while showing her all the love, adventures, and cozy moments she has missed out on until now.
Patches and Sophia do not need to be adopted together, but they are very fond of each other and have always been one another’s source of comfort 🤍 It would truly be a dream come true if we were able to find them a home together.
For the first time in her life, Patches is finally getting to experience the simple things every dog deserves — sleeping inside, learning routines, going on walks, receiving affection, and beginning to discover what being part of a family feels like instead of simply watching the world from a yard. Every day she is discovering something new, and it has been incredibly special watching her slowly learn what love, comfort, and safety feel like
If you want to show Patches what it truly means to be loved as part of a family, she is ready to meet you 🐾
