About Patty Cake

Patty Cake brings a kind of wiggly, loose energy you don’t see every day. She locks eyes with you, trusts quickly, and makes people her top priority. After months in the shelter, she’s living as an only dog in her foster home—and thriving. Her foster raves about her obedience, love of tricks, gentle play, and total lack of barking. She’s house trained, good with routines, and respectful of the home. Patty Cake must be the only dog in her household. She can pass others on leash with no drama but does get excited, so she’ll need an adult or teen who can help guide her focus with a harness and some patience. The payoff: an affectionate, nap-loving companion who makes every couch session better. Her foster shares that she loves cuddling, sleeping on the bed after a fresh bath, and snuggling up with her stuffed toy at night. She loves walks (often up to five a day), enjoys sniffing and running, and would be an ideal training partner for someone with an active schedule. Patty Cake’s confidence has grown, and though she started off reserved, she now plays eagerly and even tries to keep the peace if she thinks her foster family is arguing. She has a peaceful nature, loves attention, adores treats, and snores softly after a tiring day. Fetch is her superstar move—she’ll chase and retrieve with impressive skill. She learns tricks quickly and enjoys training for treats. Her foster is working on focus cues and recall, and Patty Cake is showing off her smart side every day. She’s independent around other dogs but loyal and social with people, making her a snuggly "fetch queen" who’s ready for her person. Patty Cake is in Decatur, GA, and she’d love to meet you.
