About Patty

Hi, I'm Patty! I'm a sweet, curious, and energetic puppy who would love someone to take me for long walks, cuddle with me, and show me around. I can be shy and timid at first, but that's just because I don't know the expectations going into a new activity. I do warm up quickly! My foster mom says she loves my heart-shaped nose and my short little tail. I am missing part of my tail, but TRUST me, I am not missing any personality! I'm from Texas, and it's pretty chilly up here, so I love to snuggle up in a blanket next to my people. I sleep in my kennel at night and am very quiet. I am working on this whole potty training thing and am doing so well with frequent potty breaks. I will need someone to continue to teach me about being polite and this whole walking on a leash thing. I love treats, though, and I want to do the right thing – can you teach me? I am a puppy, so I love to play with toys, especially bones and things I can chew on! My foster mom throws balls for me, but I make her go get them. My foster mom tells me it's not polite to jump, but I'm still learning. I have been around people of all ages, even ones smaller than me, and I love everyone! I am a puppy, though, so I like to jump up and say hi and let you know I'm here and would love a pet. I've been around a cat, and I'm kind of scared of him, but he likes me, so I think we'll be friends. I've met some big dogs since I've been here; I learn from them and take their lead. I know when they want to stop playing, and I go find one of my toys instead. I like to run and chase them around in the yard, and they like to play with me too. They chase the ball that my foster mom throws, but I don't see the point, so I just wait until they get back. I would love to meet someone who can see past my timidness and see that I am an amazing pup! They would continue to teach me manners, take me on walks, and cuddle with me. In return, I will give kisses, love, and endless laughs. Pinky promise!
