Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet our very own star, Patrick! He is without a doubt a stunner with a heart of gold. Patrick is still getting to know us here, but is more than willing to make strides to come out of his shell. We've been able to persuade him with tons of treats and belly rubs, and he is absolutely loving it! Patrick is great on walks, but he would really prefer to just hang out and cuddle with you. A curious boy who likes to explore his surroundings, he keeps his nose in the ground. But once the important sniffs are out of the way, he loves to play! He can play by himself and keep himself busy, but he would thoroughly enjoy if you ran around with him. Easy to please and laid back, Patrick would be the perfect addition to your family. Patrick would thrive best in a home with older children, if any. Give us a call, or come stop by to meet him!
