This week's Dog of the Week is two-year-old Patch, who is looking for a family to take him in and give him a permanent home.

Patch, who is currently at the Dogs Trust Snetterton Rehoming Centre, is a sweet boy who loves a fuss once he knows and trusts you.

He can be timid when meeting new people and going to new places but, given some time and space, he will be your best friend.

Patch's favourite pastime is running around with a tennis ball – he just needs a human playing partner.

Fully housetrained, Patch is searching for a quiet home with adopters who will give him time to settle. Patch would benefit from further socialisation with new things to help boost his confidence.

If you think you are a match for Patch, contact Dogs Trust Snetterton on 0300 303 0292 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk
