Patchy is the cutest little dude (26 pounds!) looking for his forever family. We assume he is a chihuahua mix and he is around 2-3 years old. Patchy came from a high-volume shelter as an unclaimed stray. He was completely shut down in the shelter. Since arriving in CO and joining a foster home, Patchy is showing us that he LOVES snuggles, attention, and high-pitched, happy, silly voices. He’s just a shy guy that needs some time to warm up. Once he trusts you his tail never stops wagging. His cute little wiggles and helicopter tail can make anyone smile! Patchy walks decently on a leash and is rocking crate training; he requests a crate as his safe space in an adoptive home as well.
Patchy is a healthy boy who has pearly white teeth after his teeth cleaning. He is a little thin but eats wonderfully and is gaining weight. He has a low-grade heartworm infection that is being cleared.
Patchy is going to bond hard with his forever human(s) and show them unwavering love, loyalty, and snuggles. We think he will do best in a mature, quiet-ish, patient home that can offer him predictability and consistency while he continues to learn to trust and continue to become his best, most confident, silly self!
