Patti: Needing a Home for nearly 2 years

Patti is total doggie perfection. She came to the shelter at about 5 months old in fall 2008. She has the markings of a Brittany, but has a stout build and short hair.

Patti has the cutest personality in the world! Even as a baby, she would give a shy little look at was just heart-melting.

She is brimming with happiness and usually has a big grin on her face, though lately she's been feeling a little down after so many kennelmates have gotten homes, leaving Patti behind.

Patti loves everyone and everything. With other dogs, she is amazing. She adapts her play style to match the other dog. When kennelled with a Corgi mix, she played herding games with her. When kennelled with a dog with a gimpy hind leg, she was very careful. For this reason, it is hard to imagine she'd have trouble with dog-knowledgeable kids.

She doesn't mind handling or hugging, and we've never seen a single "grumpy" behavior. She has never given a second thought to the cats, and would probably make friends with one. That's just how she is.

Despite being a bit...um...stocky, Patti can turn on the speed, so she needs room to run and play.

Miss Patti has been kennelled for a very long time, so has no house training. But she is always tuned in to the people around her and will do whatever you want, so she should be highly trainable.

Can you help Patti find her home?
