Patrick's Story

Meet Patrick: Professional Good Boy🐾

Patrick is a handsome, smart and delightfully goofy boy who is finally ready to trade shelter life for a comfy couch and a family to call his own!

This lovable larrikin arrived at the RSPCA with a seriously broken leg that required orthopaedic surgery. Since then, he's been following strict doctor's orders, enduring an extended recovery, and perfecting the art of looking extremely hard done by. The good news? Patrick has recovered well and is nearly ready to leave his medical saga behind.

Now, before Patrick gets any ideas about entering the Dog Olympics, he is still in the final stages of recovery. While he no longer needs to be confined to a small space, he does need a family willing to help him keep things sensible until his final vet recheck and clearance in early September. He'll head home in foster a foster capacity initially, with the adoption to be finalised once he gets the all-clear from his vet team.

Patrick's favourite things include:

• Being with his humans
• Playing with his toys
• Napping in the sunshine
• Checking what his humans are eating
• Convincing his humans that their lunch is actually our lunch

After spending so much time on restricted rest, Patrick can occasionally forget that he's supposed to be taking it easy. He may get a little overexcited and temporarily believe he's a Formula 1 race car rather than a recovering dog. Thankfully, he's a clever boy who genuinely wants to please. With gentle guidance and clear boundaries, he settles nicely and gets right back to being the sweet, affectionate companion we know and love.

Patrick would thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not initially, helping him settle into his new routine and ensuring he sticks to his rehabilitation plan (even when he's convinced he's fully qualified to make his own medical decisions).

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick, a professional snack inspector, and a handsome goofball who has overcome a lot and is ready for his happily-ever-after, Patrick might just be your perfect match.

If you have room in your heart, your home, and potentially your sandwich, please apply to adopt Patrick today! ❤️🐶
