👑 Patty -- The 11-Pound Boss Lady of Lake County 👑

(Part Shih Tzu, part sass, part professional belly-rub collector)

If you've ever dreamed of living with a tiny queen, congratulations -- your monarch has arrived.
Meet Patty, a 1.5-year-old Shih Tzu who is only 11 pounds but carries herself like she owns the deed to your house, your heart, and probably the remote.

Patty is what we lovingly call a "bossy pants."
She's not mean -- she just knows what she brings to the table, and frankly, it's a lot.
She would adore being your one-and-only, your spotlight hogger, your personal couch warmer. But she's currently attached to another foster dog and may decide he is her emotional support minion forever.

Her hobbies include:
✨ Demanding belly rubs like it's a full-time job
✨ Giving infinite kisses whether you signed up for them or not
✨ Laying directly on top of you while you try to watch TV
✨ Running around in the snow like a tiny, fluffy tornado
✨ Strutting aroun
