🐾 Meet Patty: Your Future Best Friend (and Professional Toy Tester!) Age: ~8 Months | Breed: German Shepherd | Status: Spunky & Sweet The Scoop on Patty Hi there! I’m Patty. I might not know my name yet (I’m still getting used to it!), but I definitely know when someone is looking for a loyal companion. I’m a young, vibrant girl with a heart twice the size of my (very large) ears. If you’re looking for a partner for backyard fetch or someone to shower you with kisses the moment you walk through the door, I’m your girl! I absolutely love people. Meeting new friends at the shelter is the highlight of my day, especially if they’re willing to throw a toy for me. My Ideal Home I’m still a puppy at heart, which means I have plenty of energy and a lot of smarts to share. I’m looking for a family that will: Play with me: I am a toy connoisseur! Balls, ropes, squeakers—you name it, I’ll play with it. Teach me: I’m at that perfect "teenage" age where I’m ready to learn all the cool tricks and manners that big dogs know. Keep me the center of attention: I’ve noticed that when I see other dogs through my kennel door, I get a little frustrated and vocal. Because I can be a bit selective about my canine neighbors, I’d likely be happiest as your only dog for now, or with a family experienced in slow, structured introductions. Quick Facts: Affection Level: 10/10. I am a world-class cuddler. Activity Level: High. I’m ready for walks, play sessions, and adventures. Training: Eager to please! With some treats and patience, I'll be the smartest girl on the block. Ready to meet me? I'm waiting at the shelter with my favorite toy in my mouth! Come say hi and let’s see if we’re a match. If you are interested in adopting, it is best to call the shelter and make an appointment. The shelter phone number is (419)-448-5097, press 1, if you do not get an answer leave a message and we will return your call asap. Because our dogs are strays, we are unsure of the past shot history. Spaying/ Neutering and all basic shots are recommended. All dogs are available for adoption for $30.00 which includes a 2026 Ohio Seneca County Dog License. We accept cash or check only!
