Patches is about 2 years old. This male Australian cattle dog mix is very playful and sweet.

He’s been at the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services since Aug. 9 and since that time, he’s shown shelter workers that while he’s shy at first, he bonds quickly with people who are patient and gentle.

He’s confident with other dogs – shelter workers recommend leashed introductions – and he tested well with cats.
