Patches's Story

Meet Patches<br/><br/>Patches is a 1-year-old, 40 lb Rat Terrier mix with the sweetest soul and a love for snuggles. She’s the perfect mix of affectionate and playful — happiest curled up next to her people or enjoying time outside with her favorite chew toys.<br/><br/>She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don’t let that fool you — she warms up quickly and becomes a loyal, loving companion in no time. Once she feels comfortable, Patches is incredibly affectionate and will happily soak up all the cuddles you have to give.<br/><br/>Patches enjoys the company of other dogs and does especially well with male dogs. She also does great with kids and would make a wonderful addition to a family home. She hasn’t been around cats yet.<br/><br/>She’s a smart girl, too! Patches already knows commands like sit and paw, walks well on leash, and is both crate trained and potty trained.<br/><br/>Patches can be a little protective of her food and favorite toys around other dogs, so she’ll do best with a home that can manage feeding times separately and give her space when enjoying high-value items. She does great with people and this is a very manageable behavior with simple structure.<br/><br/>Why you’ll love Patches:<br/>• Very affectionate and loves to snuggle<br/>• Enjoys being outside and playing with chew toys<br/>• Dog-friendly (especially enjoys male dogs)<br/>• Great with kids<br/>• Knows sit and paw<br/>• Leash, crate, and potty trained<br/>• Loyal and loving once she warms up<br/><br/>Patches is looking for a home that will give her a little patience at first and lots of love forever. In return, she’ll be your snuggly, devoted best friend.<br/><br/>Ready to meet Patches?<br/><br/>Apply to adopt here:<br/>https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/70992/generic<br/><br/>Patches is located in Texas but can be adopted locally or out of state.

Ruff Road Revival's Adoption Policy
The first step to the adoption process is filling out our adoption application online. We then do a vet check and check character reference, followed up by reaching out to the potential adopter to answer any questions they may have. If they are still interested at that point, we have the foster reach out to them so that they can get a better feel for if it is the right fit both for the adopter and for the animal. This also gives the potential adopter a chance to either set up a meet and greet with the animal if they are local or video chat with the animal to see their personality if they are out of state. If they are local, the next step would be a meet and greet and if that goes well, they would sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee and take the animal home. If they are out of state and decide to move forward with adoption, they will then sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. We will schedule the transport and send all information to the potential adopter. The animal will receive a health certificate prior to transport and the adopter will be added to a group chat during the transport process.
