About Patty

Hi there! I'm Patty, a sweet, curious, and energetic pup with a heart-shaped nose and a personality as big as Texas! I may be a little shy and timid when we first meet, but I warm up quickly and promise to shower you with love and kisses. My tail may be a little shorter than most, but it doesn't stop me from wagging with joy! I love to snuggle up in a warm blanket, especially since I'm still getting used to the colder weather.

I'm a quick learner and sleep quietly in my kennel at night. Potty training is going well with frequent potty breaks, and I'm eager to learn all about being a polite pup, especially when it comes to walking on a leash. I LOVE treats, and I'm motivated to do the right thing – can you help me learn? As a puppy, I enjoy playing with toys, especially chewy bones. While I might not be the best at fetching balls (I prefer to let my foster mom do that!), I love to chase them around the yard with my doggy friends.

I've met people of all ages, including children, and I adore everyone! I can be a bit jumpy when I'm excited to say hello, but with a little guidance, I'll learn to keep all four paws on the floor. I've also met a cat and, while I was a bit scared at first, we're becoming friends. I've also been introduced to big dogs and learn a lot from them, knowing when it's time to stop playing and grab a toy.

Ideal Home

I'm looking for someone who can see past my initial shyness and recognize the amazing pup I am! You'll need patience and a willingness to continue teaching me manners, taking me on walks, and showering me with cuddles.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned.

Training & Support

I'm still learning polite behaviors like not jumping up and leash walking. I respond well to treats and positive reinforcement, and I'm eager to learn!
