Patriot
is a 1 year old purebred yellow male Labrador that is full of spirit and joy. He is crazy about toys and water and is looking for an active family
to include him in their life.
Patriot is neutered, up to date on shots and as a pup needs
some obedience training.
He is also friendly with other dogs.
If you remember seeing Patriot on our
website, we recently learned that he has bilateral hip dysphasia and he needs to
have surgery on both hips.
The name of Patriot's surgery is Triple Pelvic
Osteotomy. He may need additional surgery on his front knees - Knee Patellar
Luxation Repair. This additional surgery is currently being evaluated.
Patriot loves to play with the dogs in his
foster home, but he does not have the stamina of a 1 year old lab. It is quite
painful for him to play and he tires easily. You may notice that he is sitting
'crooked' in the picture on the side.
Patriot's doctors have indicated that after the
surgery, he will live the perfect life of a young lab and will probably be free of
arthritis for the remainder of his years.
The estimated cost of the surgery is $1600 - $2000 per hip... If you would like to be a Patriot
sponsor, please send a donation to

We will acknowledge all sponsors on this web
page!!!!!
Patriot is currently
available for adoption. Ideally, we would love to place him in a home that would
help him with his recovery and rehabilitation and adopt him in his forever family.

My name is Patriot and I am looking
for a home.
I need to be part of the family, I don't like to be alone.
I have a cute face - green eyes and a big pink nose,
And when I am happy, my tail just goes and goes!
I'm a good boy and I have become housebroken,
I'm quiet until there is danger, then I'm quite outspoken!
I get along with other dogs and I am curious about the cat,
I get my face into boxes and bags and other stuff like that.
I can help you with your groceries if you put them in a sack,
I will carry them to the kitchen and even give them back!
I will follow you from room to room and always be at your side,
If you have errands to run I'll go along for the ride!
I will be there to protect you, I will be your little rock,
So don't get mad at me if I take off with a sock!
I love a good game of keep-away, a squeak toy and tug-of-war,
Remember to buy me a surprise when you go to the pet store!
I will be your best buddy and hang out and watch TV
Promise to give me lots of love is something you must agree.
I accept all hugs and kisses and gladly give them back,
Having love in YOUR life is something you will never lack!
I will greet you at the door as if you've been gone for years,
I have so much love to give, your eyes will fill with tears!
I have found some loving humans who see my worth and won't give up,
Until I have my knee and hip surgery and become an almost perfect pup.
My foster Mom has written this because she wants to be my voice,
Once you look in my eyes, she's sure you'll feel I am the perfect choice!
I have a purpose in life and that is to be your best friend,
I will be devoted and love you always, right up to the end.
