About Patty

Hi there! It's me, Patty, with my deep brown eyes and a smile that could melt your heart! I'm back to share a little update on my life, and let me tell you, it's been quite the adventure!

I've absolutely aced the potty training – no accidents for months, even in the wildest weather! My foster mom is so impressed with my dedication to doing my business, no matter the conditions. She says I'm the best girl ever! With the guidance of my foster brothers, I've really come out of my shell and am now a social butterfly, enjoying pets and belly rubs from everyone I meet. I'm still a work in progress, and sometimes new things like yard tools or brooms can make me a little shy, but my foster mom says having a quirk or two is perfectly fine for a growing pup, and I'm getting braver every day.

I've mastered the art of fetch and love bringing the ball back for another round. But honestly, my absolute favorite pastime lately is indulging in a delicious bone, antler, or Himalayan chew. I can entertain myself for hours with these, happily chewing, hopping, and dancing around my dog bed – apparently, this is what they call "being goofy," and it makes my foster mom laugh! I've also started obedience training and am a pro at "sit" and "wait" for my food. I've gone from being a food vacuum to a polite little lady. While I'd much rather be gobbling up treats and playing with the other pups, I'm trying my hardest to make my foster mom proud of my progress.

So, what do you say? Won't you consider being my forever family and letting me share all my love and awesomeness with you?

Ideal Home

A home where I can continue to grow and feel safe. I can still be a little shy around loud noises or new objects like yard tools and brooms, so a patient and understanding environment would be wonderful.

Ongoing Health

I'm a healthy pup who has been spayed and is up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

I'm doing great with potty training and have mastered "sit" and "wait" during mealtimes. I'm still learning and can sometimes be shy around new things, but I'm eager to please and improve with continued positive reinforcement and encouragement.
