Oh, darling, let’s talk about the delightful Patty! 🌟 A plucky little Chihuahua mix, she’s just about 4 months old with a petite weight of 7 lbs (as of February 17, 2026). This little nugget is on a big adventure from a Puerto Rico shelter to finding her forever home right here in the DC area! Picture this: a lively pup with a heart full of love! ❤️ Patty is in her prime socialization window, making her ready to meet all the furry friends—dogs, cats, and hopefully, a few kids too! Just think of the fun giggles as she zooms around, her tiny paws flying! 🐾 Now, listen up, potential adopters! Puppies under 6 months need lots of potty breaks and playtime—so if you have a pesky 8-hour workday, be prepared to make some arrangements because this little lady needs love and attention! 🍼 Also, given her journey from Puerto Rico, Patty will thrive with someone who’s patient and committed to helping her adjust to her new life. A resident dog or an active family would suit her well, possibly frequent playdates at the dog park or doggie daycare! 🎉 In Patty’s wild dreams, she sees herself bounding through the neighborhood on fun-filled walks, discovering new scents, and, yes, making doggie pals! Despite her petite stature, she has loads of love to give, and let’s not forget a few fun puppy zoomies! 🚀 As she matures, a puppy obedience class would be just the ticket, helping her bring out her sharp intelligence! And just so you know, while Patty may sit snug in your lap, she still has some puppy growing to do, and her vaccinations are on their way. Ensuring she stays safe is a shared responsibility. Let’s keep our future pup healthy, happy, and full of puppy love! Now, if you feel that tug at your heartstrings and know you have room in your home for our little star Patty, don’t wait—apply to adopt through the Buddy App right now! Your future snuggle partner is just a few taps away. 🐶💖 Let’s make Patty’s dreams come true! ✨
