My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Patches
Patches is a sweet boy who is about 1 year old and weighs 45 pounds. He was an owner surrender to our local shelter, who called us to help. He was surrendered through no fault of his own, because of a change in living situation, they couldn't take their sweet shadow boy with them. The staff fell in love with him, and knew he didn't deserve to be in a kill shelter. He does have a very brief warm-up period when meeting new people, followed by curiousness and kisses, and being a typical Heeler once he knows you, you will always be his best friend. and loves to get attention and affection.

He is very playful and smart. Cattle dogs are also known as shadow dogs, very loyal and consider their owners to be their pack, they are very smart and get very attached to their people!

He gets along well with the other dogs at the rescue. He is a wonderful dog who just wants a family to call his own!

Patches is at our rescue in Hondo, TX and a meet and greet can be arranged with an approved application.

He is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and her adoption fee is $325.
