Adopt PATOCHE (réservé)

Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hello, my name is Patoche, an adorable, lively puppy! I just arrived at the shelter with my brothers, and my uncles and aunts are still getting to know me. I tend to be rather calm by nature but can be very dynamic. I love playing and having fun with my brothers, but what I love most are cuddles and tender moments with humans. I am a puppy who will need education and an owner ready to accompany and invest in my learning to become a great companion. Despite Patoche's adorable little face, he has some specific needs that we will explain directly at the shelter, which will require additional fees. So, come meet me soon!

Bonjour, moi c’est Patoche, un adorable chiot plein de vie ! Je viens tout juste d’arriver au refuge avec mes frères, et mes tontons et tatas apprennent encore à me connaître. Je suis plutôt de nature calme mais je peux être très dynamique. J’adore jouer et m’amuser avec mes frères, mais ce que je préfère par-dessus tout, ce sont les câlins et les moments de tendresse avec les humains. Je suis un chiot qui aura besoin d’éducation et d’un humain prêt à m’accompagner et à s'investir dans mes apprentissages pour devenir un super compagnon de vie. Malgré sa petite bouille d'amour Patoche a quelques spécificités que nous vous expliquerons directement au refuge et qui nécéssiteront des frais supplémentaires. Alors, venez vite me rencontrer !
