Patchwork is a miracle girl. Friendly to all (adult) humans, excited about every dog, and full of love to give. While she's exuberant and a cannonball of love when she's playing and out and about, she takes long naps in the day and sleeps through the night in her crate and with patience and reinforcement, settles in for sleepy snuggles on the couch. She rubs herself against your legs for pets and leans her full weight against you, letting you know there's nowhere else she'd rather be. While she's been resting up so we don't know how athletic she might be when she's feeling her best, she's a great WFH companion, managing to take long snoring naps between half hour walks during the day. She is still learning how to take little breaks for chill time, but is clearly excited to learn so she can be around her people as much as possible.


Patchwork has shown signs of hip dysplasia and will likely need orthopedic (FHO) surgery, covered by OTAT.


Patchwork's adoption fee is $300, and she will make her future family so happy!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
