Description:

Meet Patrick! He's a nice, happy, playful little guy! Patrick had a broken leg, but nice people at the rescue repaired it and he's now fully recovered. Patrick is coming to MARS in search of a forever home.

Update from the foster home:

This little guy is 2/3 ears, and other third must be stomach because he loves food. He gets very excited at feeding time and stands up on his hind legs and does a little cha-cha-cha dance for his dinner!

Patrick i's a little nervous and shy at first but once he thinks you are okay, he's friendly. sweet and loving. He loves to snuggle on your lap, or lay next to you on top of the covers in bed. He makes some strange noises at night-- sounds like he's muttering to himself in his sleep. He gets along very well with big and small dogs, and plays well with others. He gets along with one of our cats, but likes to harass the other one.

Poor guy arrived and then the next day the big storm hit, and that was his welcome to Minnesota. He is not real enthused with going outside in the cold and snow, but he is working on it and he is making progress on his housetraining. He now understands his mean foster mom will make him go out, and so he folds his huge ears back, gives a resigned but reproachful look and then trots outside to do his business.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
