Patrick is a 5-year-old neutered mixed breed with the perfect balance of chill and charm. In his previous home, he proved to be an easy companion—quiet, crate trained, and house-broken, making him a wonderful addition to a home looking for a dog who already knows the ropes. He even lived successfully with a cat, showing he can peacefully coexist with feline friends.Patrick is a true people-lover who forms strong, loyal bonds with his humans. Once he chooses you, you’ll have a devoted best friend for life. He enjoys both sides of life—whether it’s getting out for some activity or relaxing at home, he’s happy to match your pace. He does pull on leash and prefers to be your one-and-only dog, but with the right home and a little guidance, he’ll shine. If you’re looking for a steady, affectionate companion who will be all yours, Patrick is ready to meet you

Story
Chippy Dip is 9.5 years old and appears to be a Jack Russell Terrier (mix?). He was adopted from ODAS but surrendered by his owner 4.5 years later...(no fault of his own) with his companion, Dippy (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix--see his profile). Chippy Dip is a senior dog and has his FAVORITE toy he carries with him everywhere (which will go to his new home with him!). He is a senior dog and gets around a bit slowly (as we all do when we age) and doesn't see the best (but isn't blind), so he'll do best in an adult home only (he doesn't much care for children anyway--LOL). Chippy Dip is afraid of loud noises (vacuum, thunder, the other dogs barking at this shelter!). He doesn't much care for cats and would prefer to be the only dog. Chippy Dip and Dippy seem to get along fine together here, but Chippy Dip doesn't care much for "new" dogs. We won't require they stay together--but they'd prefer to stay together as they've lived together for the past four years. Chippy Dip is toy and food motivated, can be quiet/shy, but loves playing with his toy and napping. He would prefer to have a home where his person/people were home most of the time. His tail wags constantly, but he's scared and doesn't understand why he's here...
