Patches is a sweet, 9-month-old Border Collie and Labrador Retriever mix with a gentle personality. Initially shy, she blossoms into a snuggly companion once she trusts you. She loves playing with other dogs and requires a patient adopter to help build her confidence, especially on leash. Patches thrives in an active home with a fenced yard and would do best with older, respectful children due to her sensitivity to loud noises. She is eager to learn and ready to be your devoted best friend.
