About Me
ADOPTION PENDING!! Patches is a big cuddle bug, a real sweetheart, very well behaved. She walks nicely on leash, no pulling, stays with us off leash. Knows sit, come, down. She is starting to play with our dogs. She plays fetch with us and really likes the dog park. She doesn’t jump on people and stays off of the furniture. She will go in crate for a treat, but sleeps in the kitchen on a bed with no problems. Patches was very matted, we tried to brush out, to no avail, so we had to get her shaved, “The Lion Cut”. She is overweight, but the pounds are coming off with a low calorie diet and exercise. Patches is currently in a foster home in Tucson. More as we get to know her.
