Retriever Mix

St. Patrick was brought back on our fourth trip to the Gulf. He weighed only 35 pounds when he was first brought in--basically skin and bones. He is now a normal weight and is between 2-3 years of age. Despite his ordeal, he is now playful and active, and is regaining his confidence. His tail is no longer constantly between his legs, although he is still a little shy with strangers. He has a wonderful friendly personality, but would do better with older children. He is afraid of cats, but is good with other dogs. St. Patrick has had some training, but will need additional training now that he is coming out of his shell. St. Patrick has seen the horrors of New Orleans, but will never be able to tell us what it was like, so he needs all the compassion and understanding you can give to readjust and forget his desperate times alone.
