Patti

Hi there! I'm Patti, a petite German Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger heart.<br/><br/>I'm an active, curious girl who enjoys exploring and staying busy. I'm confident and smart, and I do best when I have clear boundaries and a secure setup that keeps me safe- 6.5 ft fences or taller would be best! With the right environment and guidance, I really thrive.<br/><br/>In the mornings, I politely sit by the door so my foster can get my special walking collar on (it helps keep me secure), and then we head out for a walk. I'm learning leash manners and can settle into a nice rhythm, though squirrels and other small critters still get me pretty excited. I have a high prey drive, so continued training and consistency will be important for me. That also means I have fantastic potential for dog sports like FastCAT, agility, or other performance activities where I can channel my focus, speed, and enthusiasm in a healthy, rewarding way.<br/><br/>While I may be energetic and enthusiastic out in the world, at home I'm a total lovebug. Pet me once and I'm yours forever. I live for attention, cuddles, and good old-fashioned ear scritches. I have the sweetest disposition and nothing makes me happier than being close to my person.<br/><br/>I'm housebroken and already know how to sit and shake like a proper lady. Toys aren't really my thing, but I do love to eat! I've got a healthy appetite and never miss a meal.<br/><br/>Because of my strong prey drive, I'm looking for a home with no cats and an experienced adopter who understands my confidence, energy, and need for structure. I may not be the right fit for every home, but for the right person, I'll be an incredibly rewarding companion. <br/><br/>If you're searching for a fun, affectionate sidekick with energy for days who can also melt into your lap for snuggles, I just might be your girl!
