About this Dog
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application on our website at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This special senior fella is Patches. Patches came to us along with other dogs from a situation of neglect. He along with his companions had not received the medical attention they needed and deserved. When Patches arrived, he went straight to a groomer to help make him feel better. A dental was scheduled for soon after and Patches was on his way to feeling like a pup! He has since been in a loving foster home just soaking up the attention. As you can see Patches is blind but he has done a great job navigating through the changes and getting to know his environment. He has foster dogs and cats that he hangs out with and he does fine with them. Young children might not be a good fit because he is a senior and the lack of vision but older kids that can understand and respect his limitations would be fine. Patches loves to snuggle and take big naps. Since Patches is blind and hard of hearing people with mobility or balance issues might not be a good fit since he doesn't know to get out of the way and you have to watch out for him as versus the other way around. Also he cannot navigate stairs well. A couple of steps out to the yard would likely be ok but he isn't going to be good with a flight of stairs so ranch style house or main floor living with a gate to protect him from venturing is best. Patches has had a recent dental, is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200.00

Adopt Patches and Receive Patches's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Patches's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Patches's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Patches, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Patches's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Patches was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Patches’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Patches’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Patches’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
