Patty

Adopt Patty (our "interesting ears" long legged princess)! She's one of our active & curious pups. She also can lay on her side while you massage and pet her with eyes slowly closing. But, do not be fooled, this gal loves to move! Patty needs to be your only pet. She's ok with older kids.<br/>Patty was released to us in June! Still waiting for that right family/person to come meet her. She's curious, happy, energetic, wants company, excitable and needs training (manners) ... At approx. 2 y/o now; this smart gal is used to the shelter routine but it's not a home. It is hard to give her much time with a full house of dogs. Attention, exercise, training, confidence, care... Patty is easy to greet at her kennel. We are working on her walking manners and using a prong collar helps her walk calmly. It doesn't hurt her and keeps her walking in a controlled more relaxed manner. She has even gone hiking with volunteers and clocked in 4 miles without issue! An adorable, pretty girl, who could be ok in a home with older children (12+ y/o) - Patty can play with another dog when out at a park or hiking, etc. however, when she was adopted out to a family with a dog, she got into a fight at the home. So they returned her to us. We do not know how she would react to a cat. This is an all around happy, fun pup who needs some training. But then don't we all? This girl needs a home! Curious? Come meet her!<br/><br/>Please remember ALL dogs and cats once adopted need time to decompress in your home. Focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment to help them adjust. Take it slow. This gives you time to get to know their true personality, plus for them to get used to their new home and routine. Thank you! <br/><br/>Stop by to fill out an adoption application and spend as much time as you like with our dogs. We do not adopt first come; we always select the best placement for our animals. Please call your veterinarian to permit them to speak with us for our vet check. If you rent, bring proof (lease/contract) that you are allowed to have a dog. If you have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet will be scheduled for the second visit. We offer a free session with our trainer, Canine Cooperative, once an adoption is finalized. Come meet her soon! <br/> <br/>Our adoption fee is $150 for dogs. This includes heartworm and Lyme testing, flea/tick preventatives, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines, and spay/neuter if six months or older. If they are too young, we require a $50 deposit that will be refunded upon proof that the pet has been altered.<br/><br/>For more info on our shelter and available pets, check us out online: <br/> - www.westmilfordanimalshelter.org<br/> - www.facebook.com/westmilford.animalshelter<br/><br/>West Milford Animal Shelter Society<br/>Lycosky Drive, West Milford, NJ 07480 <br/>(973) 728-2859<br/><br/>Visiting Hours<br/>Mon - Fri: 10 - 1<br/>Wed Night: 7:30 - 9<br/>Weekends: 10 - 3
