Patches

Patches is a gentle, low-key Chihuahua mix, estimated to be 12 years old and weighing 9 pounds. He thrives in a calm environment, preferring a soft spot to relax over anything high-energy. His ideal day involves sleeping in, enjoying a nice meal, taking a relaxed walk at his own pace, and then settling back into his favorite cozy spot. He's not particularly interested in toys or rowdy play, but instead brings a quiet, steady presence to the home.

Patches walks well in a harness and is happy to enjoy a couple miles without rushing. In public, he's polite and neutral with other dogs, preferring to keep to himself, especially in busy environments. He can be a bit shy with new people but warms up with a gentle approach, becoming an easy companion who likes to quietly follow his people. He currently lives successfully with cats and dogs and enjoys car rides, being fine when left alone for reasonable periods. While not overly snuggly, he enjoys being near his people and sharing quiet company. His best quality is his sweet, steady temperament, making him a comforting presence.
