Story
Patch is a friendly, loving companion! He is 2yo and weighs 45lbs. He is housebroken/UTD on shots. We’re heartbroken to rehome him, but our family situation has changed and we can’t give him the time and attention he deserves. He loves his people and will do best in a home where people are frequently home during the day or with another high-energy dog to play with. He knows sit/stay/place and does not like being crated. He loves exploring, chewing bones, and snuggling! He does best on high-fiber food. We will give his bowls, leash, etc. to his new family.

Story
I adopted him from the SPCA of Wake County. He is a very sweet, friendly dog who just wants attention and love. He’s still young, full of energy, and loves to play outside. He does well with people and enjoys being around his family. I’m looking for a home that can give him the time, space, and attention he deserves preferably someone with a yard or an active lifestyle. He would make a great companion for someone who likes walks, playtime, and being outdoors. He is loving, energetic, curious, and very loyal. He just needs a family who can keep up with him and give him the consistency and care he needs.
