If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name: Patterson (aka Minx) (PAT1225OWSMD)Estimated Breed: Pointer / Dalmatian MixApproximate Age: 7-8 monthsApproximate Weight: 40 lbsCurrently Living at: FosterAdoption Fee: $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Say hello to Patterson, a sweet, playful, and incredibly lovable fella who’s ready to steal your heart! Patterson is a friendly boy who adores everyone he meets – people, older kids, other dogs, even cats -- you name it. He would thrive in a home where he can soak up love, companionship, and playtime. Patterson's journey hasn’t been easy – he bravely battled and beat parvovirus, a tough and often deadly illness for puppies. This young, resilient fella is packed with energy, joy, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting. Patterson would do well in an active, multi-dog home where he could get the exercise he needs. He’d be a fantastic dog for a jogger, biker, hiker, anything active. He’s super smart, food-motivated (sensitive tummy menu only, please), and absolutely lives for toys and mental enrichment. Important note: cloth toys are a hard No — Patterson believes they are snacks. Chew toys = yes. Stuffed toys = emergency. Patterson is fully potty trained and will politely whine when nature calls… unless he gets distracted by something exciting (life happens). Crate trained? Yes. But his preferred sleeping arrangement is under the covers, preferably with his people. He loves belly pats better than anything else, and gives lots of kisses to say thank you. He knows his basic commands along with some others, loves learning, and enjoys engaging games that keep his brilliant brain busy. He occasionally play-bites when bored and may still sneak a chew on something he shouldn’t — but hey, nobody’s perfect. He’s been successful with other dogs at the dog park, as long as they give him his space. He does get overwhelmed by bigger dogs. He has also lived with a dominant cat and did well with respecting boundaries. Patterson's ideal forever home would be an active one with dog-savvy humans, room to run, structured play, and lots of love. Bonus points if you enjoy outdoor adventures and don’t mind sharing your bed Apply today if you’re looking for a resilient, affectionate, athletic sidekick with a heart of gold and a belly that must be rubbed! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
