Support and Health
How much training will I need?
Can I be left alone?
Patch has been left for a few hours in his previous home, any time home alone should be built up slowly once he’s settled in but he should be able to do a few hours again.
Do I have any medical conditions?
Pacth has historic medical conditions, namely ear infections, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome Patch and you are a successful match.
We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.

Additional information
When out on a walk Patch tends to ignore other dogs and walk past them.
When Patch meets other dogs he can be a little over the top, which not all dogs will appreciate, so he would benefit from learning some manners around other dogs.
We have found a play friend for him and they have enjoyed some time burning off energy together, so having dog friends in the future, who can tolerate his excitability, could be possible.
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Patch can live with children aged 11+, who are used to an excitable dog.
He’s a friendly boy who loves meeting new people, but he has got an independent side to him.
What type of environment would suit me?
Patch would need a private garden with 6ft fencing so he’s got a safe space to burn off all his extra energy and play with his toys, especially tennis balls.
About Patch
Patch is a young boy with a huge zest for life and enough enthusiasm to power a small city! Everything he does is turned up to maximum volume, if there’s fun to be had, Patch is all in.
One of Patch’s favourite things in the world is meeting people. He absolutely loves saying hello and will greet everyone as though they’re his long-lost best friend. His excitement can sometimes get the better of him, and he can be a bit of a bull in a China shop, often forgetting just how strong he is. Patch doesn’t have an off switch when it comes to enthusiasm, he’s wonderfully over-the-top in every sense!
Patch is a big fan of toys, although they rarely survive for very long. He takes great pride in thoroughly “testing” every toy he gets, and shredding them is one of his favourite hobbies. Tough toys are definitely recommended for this boy!
When he’s not busy destroying toys or making new friends, Patch loves being out and about. Walks are one of his favourite activities, especially when there’s plenty of time to stop and investigate all the exciting smells the world has to offer.
