Introducing Patches: The High-Energy, Athletic Dynamo!
Get ready to meet your new adventure buddy-Patches is here to bring some excitement into your life! This 1-year-old white and brown Lab mix is a bundle of energy and fun, and he's on the lookout for an equally active family to join in on all the action.
Athleticism in Action:
Patches isn't your average couch potato-he's a canine athlete in the making! With his boundless energy and love for running and jumping, he's always up for an outdoor adventure. Whether it's a game of fetch in the park or a hike in the mountains, Patches is ready to go the distance.
Not a Fan of the Crate, But Willing to Compromise:
While Patches may not be the biggest fan of the crate, he's a smart pup who knows when it's time to settle down. With a little patience and some positive reinforcement, he'll learn to see the crate as his own cozy den, perfect for catching some Z's after a day of play.
Good with Kids and Everyone Else:
Patches is a social butterfly who loves making new friends, especially if they come in pint-sized packages! He's great with kids and has a knack for bringing smiles to their faces with his playful antics and wagging tail. But don't worry-his affection knows no bounds, and he'll happily shower love and attention on everyone he meets.

Patches is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all his vaccines and preventions, so you can rest easy knowing he's happy, healthy, and ready to take on the world by storm.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
