Adopt This Caldwells Dog: 1-Year-Old Patches

Patches is loving, affectionate, bright, walks well on a leash and great with kids.

Patches needs a permeant home this holiday season in the Caldwells. 

This pup is only a year old and is a Jack Russell terrier mix. You can adopt him now from Orphaned Pets Inc. of West Caldwell.  

Patches is loving, affectionate, bright, walks well on a leash and great with kids. And at only 24 pounds, Patches makes for a great friend to cuddle up with on a couch or bed during these cold winter nights. 

Patch is up to date on his shots and is fixed. 

If you want to meet Patches or any of the other cats and dogs at Orphaned Pets Inc. that need a home, then call (973) 882-8363 or (973) 865-6421.
