Patrick is a resilient 3-year-old Poodle with a gentle heart and quiet spirit. Born with a deformity in his front left leg, he runs, plays, explores, and enjoys life without pain or limitation. He loves canine companions and is happiest playing or relaxing beside another dog. Patrick can be shy while learning to trust people, but his sweet personality shines with patience and kindness.

Ideal Home

Patrick will thrive with:

• A securely fenced yard
• Another friendly, playful dog
• A patient family who understands that trust takes time

Ongoing Health

Patrick’s front-leg deformity has never caused him pain, and he occasionally uses the leg for balance. He has received rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines; tested negative for heartworms; and started monthly heartworm and flea prevention. He has also had a dental cleaning.

Training & Support

Patrick is making good progress with house training when kept on a consistent schedule. He is still learning that people can be trusted and will benefit from a calm, understanding home.
