Wanna meet the newbie! YIKES!

Okay so not a sighthound but well...... erm..... yes I am a sucker for a sorry story as you all know!
Crossbreed anyone?

YES! Before anyone starts! I am WELL aware that Patch is NOT a sighthound! However what Patch is is a wonderful crossbreed boy who at just 18mnths old has had a hell of a few weeks and needs a good loving forever home
Patch and his companion (sadly who we cant get signed over) were recently taken from a free ad in Pets At Home by a woman who wasnt able to commit to them and should never of had them. She was lodging at a *friends* house for a short period of time not even having a home of her own. One of my foster carers was asked to take Patch for the weekend until she had the keys to her new property on Monday. This never materialised and Patchs companion is now living in a tent with this lady and her two late teen sons!

In two weeks Patch has been taken from his home by strangers, moved in with other strangers then handed to yet more strangers and enough is enough!!!! Patch is now signed over to Greyhound Gap.

Patch so far is proving to be a great little dog! He is currently co existing with 2 labrador bitches and 1 greyhound bitch and 1 grumpy greyhound male ALL have accepted him and he gets on well with them all. Patch is thoroughly housetrained, good on the leash and is a cracking off leader also, he is good with all other dogs and people he has met.
Patch ideally needs a home with a companion preferably a young female who will play with him as he loves to run play and also likes his toys.

Poor Patch has been through so much and we would really love to allow him a second chance and find him a wonderful new home.

Patch will be treated in exactly the same way as our sighthounds and will be vaccinated, de flead, wormed, microchipped and neutered before rehoming.
Although Patch is quite a comical looking hound with short legs and large looking head he really is a dog in a million and will make a fabulously loyal companion.

So if anyone who has a friend looking to home a wonderful little non sighthound man for more information or to offer Patch a home please have them call Lisa on 01782 544728 or Liz on 01473 623343.
