Description:

Patricia came to us from Georgia where she was going to be euthanized. A nice lady drove her and two other dogs all the way from Georgia, so how could Judy turn them away? She is very sweet and calm, and she adores people. But she is not good with other dogs at all.

 

Patricia makes a great companion dog!  She loves to be wherever you are, always showing a lot of love and wanting that affection from you in return. Patricia''s foster has shared some wonderful highlights with us about her sweet personality:

• Loves people - very affectionate and warm
• Love meeting new people
• Loves being handled and adores treats
• Loves having her belly rubbed
• Very intelligent dog with a silly, fun personality
• Gentle and loving with children of all ages, including very young children
• She is a good house protector – will bark if she hears strange noises outside or if someone knocks at the door
• Crate-trained - very calm in her crate, although we let her have free-roam of the house
• Very well behaved for baths and grooming, including nail trims and ear cleaning
• Loves car rides and behaves well while in the car
• Knows "W-A-L-K" when it is spelled out means going outside!  
• Loves long hikes on nature walks especially in cooler weather
• She mainly exercises by going for a walk three times a day
• Always excited to go out on a leash and very curious, wants to smell and see everything
• Walks well on the leash but needs a firm hand on the strap when around other animals as she will pull in her excitement
• Understands "stay" when you leave the house and go out the door without her
• Eats twice a day on a diet of Rachel Ray's Nutrish
• Knows “Sit” and will sit for treats or food
• Has absolutely no resource aggression whatsoever - you can always take away her food or toys
• She has a low to moderate energy level but as an indoor dog likes to play with rope toys and balls
