Patrick was adopted when he was 3 months old. He was a sweet puppy and he bonded very well with his owners. His previous owners also took great care of him. However a lot of changes happened from time to time. Maybe something during that time frame triggered his anxiety and resource guarding. If strangers were to come to his house, Patrick will bark ferociously at them, but this is so unlike him when he is outdoors which is usually boisterous and friendly with those he meets on the street. He is also nervous during thunderstorms and has food and environmental allergies. A controlled diet will keep his allergies in place.
Patrick is extremely food-motivated thus he has learnt a variety of antics. His favourite game is ‘Fetch’. He is grass-trained and enjoys long walks. Friendly and full of excitement whenever he meets with most dogs, he will sniff them and initiate play. An independent dog, Patrick can be left alone at home.
Patrick is extremely smart and loves engaging with his handlers, and is one of our favourites at the shelter! With the right training techniques and a proper management in place, Patrick will be able to settle comfortably together with you in a home just like any canine.
We believe Patrick will make a great companion for an all adult family who is willing to open their hearts to him.
