Meet Patty Melt

Patty Melt is a lovable, 2-year-old Shar Pei/Lab mix with the most endearing wrinkled face! Weighing in at 35 pounds, she is still working on gaining some healthy weight but is expected to stay within the medium size range once fully filled out.This sweet girl is house-trained (has never had an accident indoors) and is working on crate training. She is friendly with other dogs and enjoys their company but hasn’t had the chance to meet any cats yet. While she hasn’t been introduced to children, she has a gentle and calm demeanor and has been friendly with everyone she’s met so far.Patty has a unique, adorable personality that will quickly win you over. She is a quiet companion who loves being close to her people without being overly demanding. She enjoys curling up at your feet, following you around to see what you’re up to, and sneaking onto the couch to lean against you. She’s a big “leaner” and will happily rest against you for comfort. One of her cutest quirks is how she falls asleep almost instantly—sometimes in the funniest positions! Patty came from a tough past—she was abandoned and malnourished, which has made her a bit cautious with food. She sometimes needs encouragement to eat and is picky about treats. Due to her past, she also experiences some separation anxiety. While she doesn’t destroy anything when left alone, she will whine and howl, jumping from furniture to windows in hopes of seeing you return. She is improving, but she would thrive in a home where her humans can see her periodically throughout the day.Despite her initial shyness, Patty has adjusted well to her foster home and loves being with her people. She enjoys walks, chasing squirrels, and playing with her beloved stuffed bear. She can entertain herself but also loves interactive play and may even learn to fetch with a little encouragement. While she doesn’t need a fenced yard, an active owner who takes her on hikes and/or adventures would be ideal.Overall, Patty Melt is a sweet, chill, and affectionate girl who just wants to be loved. She has so much love to give in return and is looking for a patient, caring forever home that will help her continue to gain confidence and feel secure. Could she be the perfect fit for your family?https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
