Patch Pet of the Week: Hollywood the Dog

This pup needs a new mom to help him grow up.

Hollywood is an 18-month-old hound mix with special needs. He has figured out the housebreaking and training that is needed to be a polite house dog.

But due to a possible Distemper infection when he was younger, he has some motor and sensory issues. We once had a cat with a similar issue and she figured out how to get what she needed while living a long, healthy life. 

When you give sweet Hollywood a treat, it may take him a minute to find it. He keeps on trying and is a loving little guy.

At 35 pounds he is the perfect size for a home with a small yard, preferably fenced in, where he can run and try to figure things out. This pup enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well in a home with a big sister to show him the ropes.

He would also do well with older children, since his disabilities make him a bit clumsy around smaller kids. Hollywood is neutered and up to date on all his shots.

If you think this would be the perfect dog for your family, contact his foster mom Samantha at palsplace1@hotmail.com or 773-615-9864. His adoption fee of $150 benefits the rescued dogs of Pal’s Place.
