Patti

Can you imagine being so scared that you just hide under your bed? Well that was Patti when she came in to us just a few short weeks ago!

Our little sweetheart is lacking confidence with most things and is going to need a caring family that is ready to let her true personality shine. We won't lie - Patti is going to need some work - she hasn't had the foundation skills that most dogs have had. She is avoidant of new people to start with - but once she realizes they mean no harm you will be showered with kisses and affection from her.

Patti lacks basic skills so we encourage lots of force-free positive training to help her get up to speed - just remember she is still young in JRT years so will pick things up quickly. She takes treats super gently and gets very excited when she sees her walking harness.

Since being at the Lost Dogs Home, Patti has evolved from a shy girl to an excited lady with the staff that she knows. She actively seeks out interaction with people and adores being lavished with attention. She is a beautifully natured dog despite what we can only assume was a rough start to life.

While Patti has showed some positive interactions with other dogs - right now she needs to be the only dog in the home while she gains her confidence back, with ongoing positive reinforcement and slow, positive introductions she may like a friend in the future. This is the same for children. Little children can be intimidating for dogs like Pattie so we highly recommend that all people in the household be older and have the ability to give Pattie her space when she needs it.

If you have a a beautiful soul to match Patti's - please come on down and meet her today. Please remember we operate on a walk in basis so we cannot place any dogs on hold. If you wish to meet this little lady, you will need to come down to The Lost Dogs' Home quickly before she is snapped up by another loving home.
