Meet Patch
Patch is a gorgeous two-year-old Mastiff mix who firmly believes she’s a lap-sized dog!
She’s already started her basic obedience training and is learning quickly — she loves working for tasty treats and using her clever brain. Patch now knows sit, wait, leave, close, heel, here, off, quiet, no, yes, in, and ok, and she will even wait politely for her food. Such a clever cookie!
Patch needs a confident, consistent owner who will maintain good routines and boundaries. If she’s given the chance to be cheeky, she absolutely will be!
She would love to live with a friendly, confident dog — one who can help her remember her manners but also enjoys playing. Her future dog companion will need to be tolerant of a big, bouncy youngster! Patch should be fed separately or in her crate, but she currently lives happily in foster with 11 other dogs of all ages and sexes without any issues.
Patch is being fostered on a smallholding, so she’s used to being around cats, dogs, sheep, goats, geese, chickens, and cows — and she’s fab with them all.
She’s also great with people and is a very soft, loving girl.

Patch can live with dog-savvy children aged 9 and over.

Patch is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.
Currently located in Aldingbourne.
