Additional info:
Oh hello, friends! My name is Patches. A couple weeks ago was a really sad time for me because my dad surrendered me to Dogs Without Borders. My mama passed away and dad wasn't able to care for me any longer. That's why I look very matted and dirty with ingrown toenails & chronic ear infections in some of my photos. Thankfully, DWB brought me into the vet for top-notch treatment! I'm finally looking and feeling a whole lot better. Though I'd feel even more better if I found a FURever family!!
Here are some things to know about me:
I'm a 3 year-old Maltipoo
I thrive living in an adult-only home
I've struggled with leash aggression
I am potty-trained
I'll often growl at new people
I do have a bite history - I can be quite territorial when I'm around my daughter
For the most part, I'm quite calm and just want to love and be loved!
Will you please take me home with you?
