About
Meet Patch: a young male mixed breed dog with a cheery temperament and a positive attitude to life.
He was born in May 2020 and weighs about 22kg.
Eager to please, Patch makes you feel good by just being around him.
He has a great zest for living and whatever he does, he does it with enthusiasm.
Even if it’s just posing for photos, he gives it his best shot.
Patch is a very affectionate boy who loves human company.
He responds well to new people and is happy to receive (and give) attention, though he is not needy.
Patch is child-friendly and playful, though he’s too exuberant for young children.
He loves paddling in the river and riding in the car, and would be a great dog for a family with older children.
He’s very dog-friendly and has had limited, but positive, exposure to the cat in his foster home.
He walks well on a lead, but can pull hard if he encounters another dog while out walking.
Although he just wants to greet the other dog, he does so with typical Patch-like enthusiasm, which can be off-putting for the dog and its owner.
Patch has very good recall.
Recently, he was tempted to accompany another dog in chasing a kangaroo.
However, as soon as his foster mum called, Patch came running back and didn’t budge from her side.
He would do best in a home with plenty of space for him to romp and play with at least one other energetic, medium-sized dog.
Secure fencing is essential and prior working dog experience will be highly regarded.
His adoption fee is $595 and he is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
If you are interested in meeting him, ARK would love to hear from you.
