Patch

Patch is a 2.5-year-old black and white hound mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality! He entered the Sheriff's Office Trustee Program at the McCormick County Detention Center in April 2025 and proudly graduated in August.
During his months of training, Patch worked one-on-one with his Trustee and a team member from HSMC. This hands-on attention has given Patch a strong foundation in obedience and manners. He knows his cues, walks beautifully on a lead, and is eager to please.
Patch loves going for walks, chasing balls (though he hasn't quite mastered bringing them back yet), and soaking up attention. His favorite thing? Full body rubs, belly scratches, and giving kisses. He's affectionate, playful, and happiest when spending time with his people.
Because of his specialized training, Patch responds best to confident handling, clear commands, and consistency. He was not trained with treats but instead with strong voice cues, hand signals, and leash guidance. He naturally heels to your right side and will happily zoom the yard when given the go-ahead.
Patch is ready to bring his loyalty, training, and love into a forever home. Patch might just be your perfect match.
