Pet of the Week: Patches Knows No Stranger

Patches is an adorable, male, Beagle/Pointer Mix that was born about December 23, 2011 and weighs 35 lbs. Patches has been a resident at the shelter way too long for a young tyke. True to the Pointer in him, he is energetic, curious, and thrives on attention. True to the Beagle in him, he loves EVERYONE - no strangers to him. In hot weather, Patches winds down his play time outside, and is ready for the air conditioner. Patches is very enthusiastic about life - that is a good quality. Learn more about Patches here.
