Patch Pets: Primo is Worth the Attention He Needs

You sometimes hear about homes that are considered “fixer-uppers.” They make wonderful, meaningful projects for new owners to pour their love and personalities into.

Well, Primo is a fixer-upper—one with a sweet grin and cute little ears. He's more than worth the attention he needs.

Primo has come a long way since he was rescued and brought to Animal Friends. Finally, he basks in the gentle, encouraging touch of our volunteers … which is a far cry from life in the basement from which he was rescued. 

Right now this frightened dog is motivated by food. He loves his Kibble. With some coaxing and training, you’ll be rewarded for giving this little guy a new life. He deserves it after all he’s been through. 

We’d like to see him move into a quiet, adult home with a “safe haven” (a crate) for when he gets frightened, which happens a lot. You’ll need to be patient during housetraining, and aware that he may have ongoing medical needs and may never play like other dogs.

If you choose to adopt this special dog, you will watch him learn about living in a real home with a loving family.
