About Patty

Hi there! It's me, Patty, with my deep brown eyes and loving smile! I just wanted to give you an update on all things "mewhat else?!" I've totally rocked the potty training thing and haven't had any accidents in months. My foster mom is so amazed by my ability to take care of business, whether it is snowing, raining, or even windy as heck! She says I'm the best girl ever. I've blossomed a lot with my new foster brothers showing me the way to be a good doggo, and I've come out of my shell after meeting more and more people who want to say hello and give me a good pet or belly rub. I am still learning though, so sometimes I do still have moments of shyness or get scared by those dang things called yard tools and brooms. Oh well, having a quirk or two is okay, my foster mom says, but I am still a pup and becoming more brave every day. I've mastered the art of playing fetch and will even bring the ball back to you to keep going and going and going, sometimes initiating play by bringing the ball to you and getting your attention with it. Although, if I can be honest, my favorite thing of late is chewing on a yummy bone, antler, or Himalayan chew. I can entertain myself with one of these by chewing it, hopping around it and dancing, or by tossing it around my dog bed—apparently, this is considered being goofy and makes my foster mom laugh! I've also started obedience training; I rock the sit and wait for my food and have graduated from being a "hoover" during meals to the polite little lady I knew I could be. I hope to tell you I'd much rather just eat all the goodies and play with the other pups during training, but I will try my hardest to make my foster mom proud of what I can learn. So, that is about it for now! Won't you consider being my forever family, and then I can share all my love and awesomeness with you too?

Ideal Home

A loving family who understands that I can still be a little shy and sometimes get scared by loud noises like yard tools and brooms. I love to play fetch and chew on bones, so a yard for playing and a good chew toy would be great!

Ongoing Health

I'm all caught up on my vaccinations and spayed!

Training & Support

I'm a pro at potty training and have been accident-free for months! I'm also working on my obedience skills and am already great at "sit" and "wait" for my food. I'm eager to please and will try my hardest to learn new things.
