Name (Age): Patrick Dufort Tribe Designation: Anh Hùng (Heroes) Current Residence: Boulder, Colorado Occupation: Animal Rescuer Claim to Fame: Taking in and finding homes for hundreds of abandoned pets since 2012. My shelter has the highest adoption rates in the city. Inspiration in Life: My dad and my older brother. My  mother passed away when I was young, so my dad did everything he could to care for both of us. He worked hard to put my brother and I through college. unfortunately he lost his battle with cancer a few years ago, but I still hold him in my heart and remember him every day. I'm proud of him. After college My brother joined the Navy as a SEAL and I was all set to follow him, unfortunately There was an accident. I was hit by a drunk driver who plowed into the bar I was working at and lost most of my sight in my left eye, Luckily I was behind the bar and avoided super serious injury, but I still wasn't able to enlist. I fell int a depression after that, but my brother was there for me, he pulled me out of my depression and helped me get back on my feet. Hobbies: I don't really know what hobbies I have unrelated to my work, my work is play for the most part, I just love playing with animals. Pet Peeves: People who hear my job and think I'm some hippy dippy vegan dude who's going to lecture them about the horrors of meat. I can love animals and still eat meat, which I do. 3 Words to Describe You: Honest, Hard-Working, and Driven. Hyphenated word count as one right? If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why: A sleeping bag, Bug spray and a change of underwear. Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: My parents were ranchers and toward the end of my dad's life he sold his cattle stock to a close family friend. He left the land to my Brother and I, but we decided I would take care of it, and that's what I transformed into my rescue operation. We do get a lot of help with donations, but winning Survivor would really help relieve some of the pressure and hassle and let me bring on some more staff. '''How do you fit into your tribe's title? (Hero/Healer/Hustler): '''I'm a strong, hard working guy, with a drive to get things done. I'm passionate, and understanding, but I'm not naive. I've been through hardship and I've dealt with some pretty bad company in my life, so I think I can Identify when I'm in trouble. I've also got a pretty good internal clock, I like waking up early and getting to work, so I'm confident I can be a big provider for my tribe. I just got to be careful not to wake up someone surly. Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I don't, that's part of what makes it so exciting for me. I don't really want complete control of the game honestly, because I feel like those people are either targeted early or aren't well liked, but at the same time I'm not a follower. People always say they're in the driver's seat, and if they work with me I'm fine being in the passenger seat, but when they work with me, they're driving a student vehicle so I can pump the brakes when I need to.
