Patches came to our rescue from a kill shelter where he had run out of time. He is a very high energy pup with the biggest ears ever! To find the perfect homes for Patches, we needed to find someone who would take him for long walks and runs to tire him out. Someone who was a firm, but gentle leader. Tony and Sara contacted us and had everything that Patches needed in a home! They had done their research prior to adoption and were prepared for crate training, obedience training, and socialization -- not to mention lots of exercise.
Patches is now living on Mount Desert Island, where he gets to go hiking and running.
Here is the latest update from Patches' new family.
I have been taking him for walks around other people and dogs, he is very gentle with the strangers who run up and start petting. He got mobbed by 5 little boys last night, he just sat and took it. Such a good dog!
He loves chewing bones. We gave up with the manufactured ones, they only last about a day. I went to the local butcher and got him a 14 inch dog bone... he is currently on day two and still chewing it like it mad. Kennel training is going well... almost will go in on command, still needs a little coaxing.
The Vet loves him... Patches has gotten his exam and first of two Lyme disease shots. I am taking him back in for the last Lyme disease and the heartguard in 3 weeks.
Patches has decided he is our personal guardian... those ears spike up and he starts scanning with the smallest of noises, it's quite cute the way he will contort his neck and examine things sometimes... pigeons confuse him. We love him so much, thank you for saving him! - Tony & Sara
