SINGAPORE – Patrick is the definition of a well-behaved gentleman. He is calm, food-motivated and loves his toys.

Sensitive to sounds, he may bark at unexpected noises or whine eagerly for his meals. The handsome six-year-old mutt understands basic commands such as “sit”, “stay” and “come”. His favourite game is fetch, and the grass-trained Singapore Special enjoys long walks.

While the HDB-approved dog dislikes being manhandled, has a fear of thunderstorms and suffers from some environmental allergies, his playful and friendly demeanour makes him a great companion for an owner willing to guide him gently.

If you are keen to adopt Patrick or any of his friends, contact SOSD at str.sg/xLqW. It is an animal welfare group for dogs in Singapore dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming stray and abandoned dogs.
