Here's what the humans have to say about me:
While Patticake has turned the corner in socialization (finally), she is no longer adoptable due to torn ACLs & a hip joint that will need surgery in the near future. Thank you.
Patti Cake is a tiny Shepherd mix. If you look up Anatolian Shepherd Dog (use www.igive.com & choose Camp Chaos 37206 as your cause to raise money for us!), you will see a dog similar to her mom; father is unknown. She is about 2 years old and weighs 45 perfect lbs. She checked into Camp after Commander Chaos rescued her from the streets of Nashville at 12 weeks old on May 22nd, 2008. She was the last of her litter rescued from under a barn after being born to a feral mama dog. Patti Cake has turned a corner with enjoying her 2-legged family members as much as her 4-legged ones! She comes to be petted when we squat or sit (not standing, in other words). She gets excited when it's time's for the evening walk & sits patiently by the door while everyone gets leashed. Her tail is up and she is curious, therefore Patti Cake is doing great!
Patti Cake has lost one of her weight-bearing digits on her back paw. She walks with a little limp, but it has gotten better so that you can barely tell. She can still jump on our bed, dig a hole, & run like the wind.
Patti Cake is a loving dog, coming to us to lick our fingers and smell our hands and take treats from us. We have gained her trust by doing things like leashing her--she comes to her kennel on command--and then sitting with her for TV time & brushing. She loves to play catch in the backyard! Granted, she doesn't bring the ball back, but it gives me exercise to walk around and pick up the balls after she drops them.
When walking her, we use a sprenger pinch collar on her. It helps her stay focused & under control on the walk, however noises (cars, barking dogs, walkers) will make her anxious, but she will continue to walk. Sitting and relaxing on the porch first and then the sidewalk with steak as a reward has helped her.
If you are looking for a submissive yet playful, energetic, and outgoing buddy for you (and your own dog), Patti Cake may be the girl for you. She is an excellent sister to all of our pups, every day, all day. She will chase and run and loves to be chased while she's on the run. After she is caught, she will chew at the others from the bottom of a pile of puppies and wiggle her way to the top! She is a very committed & devoted companion for people, too, and Patti Cake will continue to grow with training, time, & love. All in all, Patti Cake is a sweet and soulful little girl, born on the rough streets and then raised without proper one-on-one attention. Her lack of confidence and social skills stems from these negatives, but she positively is a wonderful baby, looking for a family to give her the time and attention she craves.
She doesn't have accidents indoors. She no longer is kenneled at night. Patti Cake prefers being kenneled when left alone just to be comfortable & safe in her mansion. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, bordetella, and rabies. Patti Cake is current on flea/tick preventatives as well as heartworm preventatives. She is microchipped by Avid.
All of the Camp Chaos dogs are indoor dogs with outdoor privileges. There are no exceptions. Thank you for understanding.
