If you look up the word flashy in the dictionary, a picture of Patches would be front and center. He is a gorgeous, black and white border collie mix who suffers from low self confidence and trust in people. His introductions to people and other dogs require a bit of warm up time, but once he warms up to you, he will play all day long with the boundless energy of the young. For those he trusts, kisses are forthcoming along with a velcro side-by-side walk. He looks longingly every time a dog leaves, but hasn't developed enough trust in anyone for him to go. Will you be the one who could foster trust with this beautiful dog?
