My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pumpkin Patrick is a 2-year-old, 71-pound male dog with a big personality and even bigger heart! This handsome stray has medium energy and gets excited when it's time to leash up, occasionally reacting to other dogs as he heads outside. Pumpkin Patrick already knows commands like "sit" and "down" and takes treats with a gentle mouth, showing he's a quick learner.

During playgroups, this delicious meatball was the cutest. Pumpkin Patrick is ready to play! He was friendly and fun, and he played very nicely with two different females in one-on-one play and also in a mixed gender group with several playful male dogs. Volunteers quickly fell in love with this big boy.

This big, good-looking boy would be a great match for an active family or a jogging partner who can help him channel his energy in positive ways. If you're looking for a fun, loving companion ready for adventure, come meet Pumpkin Patrick!

Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $400 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.

If you're interested in learning more about Pumpkin Patrick, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Pumpkin Patrick 254798."

Pumpkin Patrick is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
