Patch - Teacher's Pet

Patch is a 3 year old Pitbull mix who weighs 63 pounds. He does well with submissive dogs, but not so well with cats. He loves all people. Overall he is a very sweet dog. We recently found out that Patch has arthritis, so he will need medication to keep him comfortable. Unfortunately, here he is usually standing or laying in his kennel. He would benefit greatly in a home where he is free to walk around and get exercise and also find soft spots to lay in to nap and sleep. This doggy is described as a 'Teacher's Pet'. I've got the whole package - smart, fuzzy, four legs, love to learn and live to please. Go ahead, teach me anything. Sit, stay, balance your checkbook, I can do it all. Keep me entertained and I'll be yours forever. (Externally motivated). For more information on this animal contact washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.com or call 319-653-6713.
