Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Patrick 🐾💙 — a sweet, playful little puppy who’s ready to find his forever family!
Patrick is full of love, curiosity, and just a tiny bit of puppy attitude. He’s affectionate, happy, and inquisitive, and his foster’s favorite thing about him is his adorable little howl—and his tendency to “backtalk” when told no (it’s hard not to laugh). He’s deeply bonded to his people and will happily follow you everywhere, making sure you’re never out of sight.
As a young, unvaccinated puppy, Patrick’s routine is still simple and structured. His days are filled with meals (four a day right now!), naps, playtime, and short, safe outdoor breaks while he continues getting used to the outside world. He’s pee-pad trained and learning all the basics at a great pace.
Patrick has done wonderfully with both large and small dogs—he plays well, shares toys, respects boundaries, and communicates like a typical puppy with the occasional nip or bark. While he’s become best friends with his small foster sibling, he doesn’t require another dog in his forever home and would also be perfectly happy as the only pup, soaking up all the love.
He hasn’t been exposed to cats or children yet, but with guidance and patience, he’s expected to continue growing into a well-rounded companion. He uses a crate when needed and settles quickly, even if he protests briefly at first. When his people return, his excitement is impossible to miss!
Patrick would do best in a moderately active home that understands puppy life and is ready to provide patience, structure, and lots of love. He’s just a baby with a big heart—and he’s ready to give it to his forever family 🐶✨

We use a team to cover different steps in the process so that we have input from several individuals to confirm dog/puppy is a fit in the new family and we have the correct forever home.
