Patches is Well-Trained and Energetic

Patches is a perfect family dog for anyone looking for a well-trained and active playmate!

Patches is a one year old pit mix with energy to spare. Even though he's an active guy, he's also got some good training and already can sit, shake and lay down!

What Patches really needs in a family is structure. As soon as he gets a family that can help set a schedule for him, he'll be able to burn off his excess energy in a good way.

Patches is ready to go to his forever home. He is neutered and microchipped. The adoption fee is $35 and includes the first set of shots, a collar and leash, a bag of food and a toy for the dog.

We've attached an adoption form (PDF) to make it easy.
